Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in Missouri

expartes

I've heard that after you serve your time with perfect conduct and after your out for longer than a year, you may request to the district Judge for an Exparte to have your record expunged. I can not find any forms for this and do not know the legal proceedure. Can anyone advise?

Thanks in advance

Re: expartes

The word you are looking for is expungement, and there is no equitable expungement in Missouri. A court cannot expunge a record unless the conviction was wrongful.

A better bet would be for you to apply for a pardon through the Board of Pardons and Parole.
