No. Michigan is your current state of residence. But the court that might have the power to set aside / expunge your criminal convictions is Kentucky (where the convictions happened). They may well have different rules & eligibility requirements than Michigan does. You should consult with an attorney in the Commonwealth of Kentucky about that process and eligibility. You can also post a question in the Kentucky / Criminal Law (or maybe the Criminal law / Kentucky) section of LawGuru.com because only attorneys licensed to practice in that state will answer it.
