When you get a deferred judgment does it go on your record as a felony and then get wiped off after your probation?

Under the terms of a deferred judgment, the court requires you to plead guilty but does not impose a sentence. Rather, you are placed on probation for a period of time, and if at the end of that time, you have complied with all the terms of probation and not committed another crime, the case is dismissed, which has the effect of vacating your guilty plea. A conviction is not final until there has been a finding of guilt (through a guilty plea or jury verdict) and sentencing. Since no sentencing will occur while you are on probation, you are not considered to have a conviction during this period.
