    Default First Time Felony Waviers or Programs to Help a First Time Felon

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Tennessee
    I have heard rumors of a "first time felony" program, or somthing to that nature, that could possibly wave the aggrivated robery charges I served 8 years in the pen for. I was17yrs old when I was pressured by older gang members to attemt a crime, or I'd be killed! I have served my sentence and am currently b/c of good behavior. Please help me to get involved in programs to help me portray the positive person I KNOW I am. Are there actual programs like this that could help a young man like myself with getting this felony off my record? Or, is there any advice or anything you would like me to know?

    It sounds like you're talking about a case that was transferred to adult court, resulting in an adult criminal conviction. Tennessee does not appear to have any law which would permit the expungement of adult criminal offenses, except within the context of pre-trial or post-verdict diversion.

    If you wish to explore executive clemency,
    Quote Quoting Tennessee Board of Probation and Parole
    Executive Clemency power, including commutation, pardon and exoneration can only be exercised by the Governor. The Board, upon request of the Governor, considers and makes non-binding recommendations concerning requests for clemency. These requests must comply with the Governor's Executive Clemency Criteria. The Executive Clemency Section is responsible for processing all applications for commutation, pardon and exoneration in accordance with the Governor’s clemency criteria. To obtain an Executive Clemency Application and guidelines submit request via mail, fax or e-mail to:
    Board Operations Division
    404 James Robertson Pkwy, Suite 1300
    Nashville, TN 37243
    Fax: 615-741-5337
    There may well be additional provisions or possibilities which would apply to your situation, and a Tennessee lawyer may be able to identify additional options for you.
