More details to this question:
My husband was convicted of a class D felony for possession of Marijuana 14 years ago. The amount was less than a joint's worth. He has not been in trouble since. Can we get that felony dropped to a misdemeanor and if so how?
1 ANSWER
If he was convicted of felony marijuana possession 14 years ago, then it's too late to try and get the felony reduced to a misdemeanor. The time for that was back when he was first charged with the crime. At that point, his attorney may have been able to negotiate a plea bargain with the prosecutor, but if was convicted, then it's a done deal. Assuming this happened in Missouri - there is no way to seal his record or expunge the conviction from his record.
