In April of 03 I was involved in something pretty stupid. The results were that I was "found guilty of a Class A Misdemeanor by guilty plea". I honestly don't even know what I was "convicted" of because I can't seem to find it anywhere on my documentation, probably assault due to an ex-girlfriend confrontation which led to my arrest.
I received -
- A SIS with bench probation for 2 years.
- Had to complete 4 Anger Management classes which I have prove of completion.
- Had to register with REJIS
1 - Do I need to say YES when asked on an employment form if I've been convicted of a "CRIME", not specifically a felony or misdemeanor. Obviously if it said felony I can check no. In this case it doesn't, it says crime.
2 - Is a Class A Misdemeanor a big deal?
3 - How long do I stay registered with this REJIS thing?
4 - Can I get the record removed?
5 - How bad is my record with ONLY this on it?
I haven't thought twice about all of this until now. I'm in the job market now and was asked this on a form. I have since been accepted at that place of employment so I guess the records check went ok or they accepted me with this record. DO I need to be worried about anything in the future or will this disappear on it's own?
