As a general rule, new criminal laws that are enacted after the event, will not effect you. An exception to this rule is the sex offender registery. If there are new regulations that go into effect after your conviction, then they do apply to you.

Can a felony be expunged?

Answered 9 years and 9 months ago by Patrick Johnson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
Under Tennessee law effective July 1, 2012, an individual can have certain prior criminal convictions removed from the public records. This removal process is called "expungement". The "expungement" process, subject to certain exceptions, is for either a low grade felony (where the punishment received was three (3) years or less) or misdemeanor convictions, it has been five (5) years since you were released from jail, parole or probation and during that five (5) year period you have not had any new convictions. Once these prior convictions are expunged from your record, certain civil rights which you lost upon your conviction are restored, such as your right to vote, possess a firearm and/or to obtain a firearm permit...

The burden is not upon you to prove your innocence. The burden is upon the state to prove your guilt. You are more than likely being represented by an assistant public defender and not the actual public defender. Go to the public defender and voice your complaints. If this does not get you anywhere, you can notify the judge about your complaint. If you are not guilty, then don't plead guilty.... Read More
