Legal Question in Criminal Law in Colorado

Re: prior felony conviction as it pertains to job applications

If his felony conviction was in Colorado, it was not sealed. Felony convictions under current law are never sealed, not after 7 or 700 years. He should determine whether the employer does background checks; if so, he should forthrightly explain he made a mistake as a kid and that he's not the same man who made that kid's mistake. A good employer will not hold it against him (unless the conviction was for murdering his boss). If it's not a good employer, your husband doesn't want to work there anyway.

Good luck. I don't know anyone who's never made a serious mistake, or never done something they're sorry for.
