In 1988 I was arrested for a non-violent felony. I have paid all debt to society,I have been free from any charges for over 25yrs. not even a traffic ticket.I would like my felony expunged from my record, because I have been an exceptional citizen, held employment at the U.S.P.S. until retirement. This felony has caused me and my family great hardship. It has been very hard to rent or buy a home. I can not vote, serve on jury duty or but a firearm to protect my family. Please, I would like my life back before I made the mistake in 1988. Thank you so much for considering all these facts. Sincerely, Roger Steven Lacey

]]> Sat, 16 Jan 2016 10:04:53 UTC 19608684 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/19584513?utm_medium=rss It is too hard to get a job without a felony, regardless. Those people who got non-violent felonies, like drug charges or thing like that, non habitual violators, should be able to have to have their records expunged without having to go through such a long, excruciating process. Felons have to work to support their families, too & it is just too hard to find work w/ a felony, no matter how long ago it was. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED & CHANGED, so everyone can provide for their kids & family without predujice.

How long is long enough? A pardon is a joke, it is like asking a person to unsee the conviction once it has been seen. If we were at a party and I stepped on your toe and you made me aware, I said "pardon me" that doesn't mean that I did not do it. But what it does mean is that you have pardoned me and therefore should not go around telling the other party-goers of my regretful transgression. Does the State of GEORGIA know what the word pardon truly means?

I could not afford a lawyer so I took the plea deal. under the first offender. I have a violation of oath charge. I have completed my probation. I have a great job in security. Now the position is going to be changed to an armed position. so now I am searching for a new job. I have 3 more year for a pardon.. this a charge that I received back in 2008.I got 3 years probation and will not be eligible for a pardon until 2018. This is crazy don't you think. And of course its a 9 month to 1 year wait for the pardon. What is a person to do?

]]> Sat, 19 Sep 2015 11:48:12 UTC 19314665 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/19264079?utm_medium=rss A felony conviction is a life sentence no matter what the court mandated sentence was. Society will legally discriminate against anyone with a criminal conviction without waiting to hear the story. Finding a job with a conviction is almost 100% impossible until at least 7 years post conviction has passed. Families can't afford to wait 7 years to turn their lives around. Please pass a law that allows ALL felonies to be expunged after guidelines have been met. this will give the truly rehabilitated a chance to pay back the trust they're given.

I paid when I was working, but since September of 2012 I've been out of work. I have been on several interviews and received as many rejections, (some with criminal background history mailed to me), which is proof positive that it's been a direct hindrance in gaining employment. To all concerned parties: could you please remove me from this catch -22 clause so I can honor what the state is requesting of me. It has been very frustrating for me, I plead to a theft charge in 1998 completed 7 years probation and all the fines and then in 2005 was forced to plea to another theft charge and sentenced to 90 days of incarceration/10 years on probation; all fines, fees, restitution has been paid. My God, enough is enough!!!!
