    Default Re: Defred Sentence

    Yes, if you have a deferred sentence or judgment and you successfully complete the requirements of your probation, then the charges will be dismissed and you will have no public record of the crime. However, there are a few places where this can be seen, notably for certain government positions requiring security clearance or law enforcement. Also, I'm going to be gracious and assume your illiterate post is because English is not your native languate. Note that US immigration questioneers ask validly about crimes you have committed but failed to receive a formal conviction on. The immigration folks can see your "dismissed" convictions.

    For deferred sentences completed after July 1, 2003, the record is automatically made private by the court; and the private list containing the record may be viewed only by courts and court employees, the department of corrections, the county attorney's office, the Department of Corrections, and law enforcement agencies.
