Re: Abolishment of a class X felony
What do you mean by "abolished?" If you are asking about an expungment, this may help you. An individual with no prior conviction record who is acquitted or released without being convicted for a violation, felony or misdemeanor may petition for immediate expungement of the arrest record. Arrests that resulted in supervision are eligible for expungement two years after discharge and dismissal of supervision. Arrests that resulted in supervision for specific motor vehicle and other listed violations are eligible for expungement five years after termination of supervision or probation. If the above does not apply, you may qualify for a pardon by the Illinois Prison Review Board. Hope this helps, good luck.
