Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois
Adjudication Status
I am a sentence mitigation specialist in IN, working w/ client who has an IL juvenile and adult prior criminal record. He has 3 cases at age 17, 18 and 19 that have a listed dispostion of ''stricken off the record w/ leave to reinstate''. For the purposes of determining criminal history points (federal case) am I correct to assume that these cases have not been formally adjudicated and should not, therefore, be ''counted'' as per USSG, Chapter 4A?

Re: Adjudication Status
Correct. These are basically dismissals. They are not convictions or adjudications, and should not count towards the guidelines. [email protected]
