EXPURGACIÓN DE ANTECEDENTESCRIMINALES JUVENILES

¿Qué es expurgación?Expurgación (“expungement”en in-glés) signi�ca sellar, remover, destruir, o borrar antecedentes criminales pasados.

¿Necesitaré contratar un abogado?Usted ciertamente puede contratar un abo-gado para que lo ayude a borrar sus ante-cedentes. Pero si usted no pudiera contratar un abogado, Idaho Legal Aid tiene formas e instrucciones que le pueden ayudar a enviar la aplicación de expurgación por usted mismo.

¿Por qué expurgar mi recordcriminal juvenil?Porque su record criminal será “borrado” y estará fuera del alcance del público. El borrar sus antecedentes podría ayudarlo a conseguir un trabajo, un préstamo para la universidad, u obtener un lugar donde vivir.

¿Qué records pueden serexpurgados?Bajo la ley de Idaho, casi todas las conde-nas, cargos, y arrestos de cuando tenias menos de 18 años clasi�can para ser ex-purgados. Sin embargo, ciertos serios crí-menes no podrán ser expurga-dos. Como: asesinato, homicidio volun-tario, violación, incendio intencional, violencia física agravada, trá�co de drogas, o maltrato a un niño.

Idaho Legal Aid Services desearía reconocer el apoyo de Steele Reese Foundation, sin el cual, este proyecto de expurgación no sería posible.
