Only if you want to waste your time and money.
Oh yeah. You'd make millions. Maybe billions. Does it say you were ARRESTED and CHARGED with battery, which is true? Or that you were CONVICTED of battery, which you think is false?
Courts have immunity from most negligence or defamation lawsuits.
While seeing the sarcastic answers of the previous lawyers is somewhat amusing, just know we live in the information. Everything is ALWAYS on the record. So the initial charge will always remani. Your record shows the initial charge of 242 pc (battery) and then it shows a subsequent plea to a 415 pc (disturbing the peace). That's all true and that will always be on your record. Even if you get the charge Expunged and then get a Certificate of Rehabilitation granted and then obtain a Governor's Pardon, it will all be on the record........so pursuing a law suit probably isn't a good idea... I will leave the sarcasm to the other attorneys. They are much better at it than I........ Good luck....... David Wallin
