Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

To answer your specific question, no they can't use it at trial. Sentencing hearing or bond hearing is another matter. Also, you can get it sealed or expunged, but the process takes a few months.

In adding to what the previous lawyer correctly pointed out, they cannot use it at trial. As a general rule only prior felony convictions can be used to Impeach you, if and only if, you choose to take the stand and testify.

As the case was nolle prossed, they really cant use it against you but the prosecutor will see it on your record and will use that information accordingly.

I handle cases in Palm Beach County and would be more than happy to chat further about the specific facts of your case.

Happy thanksgiving,
