The Great State of South Carolina provides expungement possibilities for first offense convictions in a magistrate or municipal court, but not for first convictions in general sessions courts, even though general sessions courts hear many low level misdemeanor or non violent felony cases.
It is unfair for those, especially youths tried as adults for nonviolent crimes, that may have had their case heard in a general sessions courthouse. This petition aims to change the expungement process laws to allow nonviolent, non drug or alcohol related first offense general sessions convictions to be included in the list of convictions eligible for expungement.
We, the undersigned, call for a change in the expungement process in the Great State of South Carolina to include nonviolent, non drug or alcohol related first offense general sessions convictions.
