Legal Question in Criminal Law in Tennessee

Expungement of shoplifting conviction

A year ago I conveyed extreme stupidity and stole a

Playstation controller from a store (shoplifted).

Well, a year before I had to go on probation because

of someone leaving a crumb of pot in my car (simple

possession). My question is this: Can I have the

shoplifting conviction expunged from my record? The

shoplifting and possession where in two different

counties. I am now currently serving an unsupervised

probation period

of 11 months, 29 days for the shoplifting while the

probation tenure for the simple possession had been

successfully completed the year before. I never went

to expunge the possession charge. Would that be

possible as well? Even though it's 2 years in the

past? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Expungement of shoplifting conviction

In a case I presented to the Tennessee Supreme Court several years ago which directly addresses your question, I would have to say you are not eligible for expungment. For further info, see www.gsmithlawfirm.com
