    Exclamation Petty Theft Expungement

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: South Dakota


    I got caught shoplifting from Kmart march 7th. I had to pay kmart 120 some odd dollars.. i stole some hairspray and some eyeliner.. it was like 20 dollars all together. I went to court and just had to pay the court fees and things..

    But, ive been trying to get a new job and ive been getting denied EVERYWHERE clearly from my petty theft charge. Ive been working the jobi have now for 5 years.. so i have good reference from there. I havent stolen from work or anything.. but im not making enough at this job to support me and my baby.

    How do i get my petty theft expunged? Is there any jobs i can get with this on my record??

    Most retail theft is committed by employees. That makes it very difficult for a convicted thief to get hired.

    Try a job that doesn't involve merchandise or money handling.

    If you received a delayed adjudication then your records should have been automatically sealed at the successful conclusion of your probation. If not, it appears that you need to seek a pardon which, if successfully obtained, will cause your criminal record to be sealed. You can download pardon application materials [PDF format].

    What is delayed adjudication? I didnt have any kind of probation or anything.I wasnt taken into jail. All i had to do was pay kmart and my court fines, and that was all. They said something about suspended jail time.. so if i brake any laws or whatever in the next year or so i guess ihave to serve time.

    Is my record going to automatically sealed in a year? This was my first and only charge.
