Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

Re: criminal law

If you have been convicted and sentenced, it will never be clean unless you get a pardon. If you are referring to admissibility in future proceeds, the rules depend on the type of proceeding. For example, at a new trial if that person were to testify, there is a ten year rule on cross examining with the conviction in regard to brining in the conviction. However, if the person is convicted of a new crime, the old conviction is always admissible at sentencing.

If you were only arrested but never convicted, you can apply for an expungement at any time
