WOW.. Did you know that if you pled guilty to a charge, that THERE IS NO WAY POSSIBLE AT ALL to have your record expunged. It does't matter if you were 18, did something like crash into your neighbors yard, and you plead GUILTY, in Georgia that stays on your record for LIFE, no way having it removed. HOW EFFED UP IS THAT. I think that all non violent offenders should have the right to be able to have their records expunged like in every other damn state. Seriousl

I know that after a few more years of maturing that they become the true persons that God has intended and can go on to lead productive law abiding lives. However, there criminal records prohibit them from finding legal gainful employment and their legal situation can and may lead to more crime. I do not advocate giving violent offenders a 2nd chance. Their victims deserve respect.

It makes you feel wosrt when the non violent crime you was convicted for, you had nothing to do with you was just in the wrong plce at the wrong time. Sometimes it make that person want to give up on everything in life ecspecially when you was already dealt a bad hand of cards in life. So I think Georgia should look into expunging non violent crimes.
