QUESTION
Is it possible to have charges dropped on a withhold of adjudication?
Asked on Sep 03rd, 2013 on Personal Injury - Rhode Island
More details to this question:
5 years ago, I was involved in a terrible accident where another driver passed away. The other driver was driving under the influence and with a license suspended, (I did not know this until after the fact). The state charged me with vehicular homicide. However, they did not want to take it to court so they offered me a plea: Withhold adjudication with special conditions, which was probation and license suspension for 5 years (no jail time). My probation is now ready to be terminated, and my question is, is there any way possible to have the charges dropped at this point?

If I read your information correctly, there may not be anything to expunge since you say you never went to court. Have the court clerk check her docket to see if the charge is listed.

I suspect that you may try it, but it may take a few more years.

You need to hire the best criminal attorney in your county and let him look into the entirety of the problem, all the paper work. I doubt if this thing will go away but you need an experienced criminal lawyer to review it just the same.
