Wanting to get some opinions on this situation.Here is my story: Three years ago I was arrested for sexual assault.Was sentenced to 10 years in prison.All through this incidence I was innocent. Finally, thanks to DNA testing,I was cleared of all charges and the guilty person was arrested.I did spend 3 years in prison. I have all the paperwork,from my lawyer,stating what happened and that all charges had been dropped against me. Should I have any problems getting a driving job? My driving record is clear.This is my first time to have any brush with the law.FYI I am sueing for wrongful imprisonment. Any info will be a great help.Am basically wanting to start a new life.

 

Try applying to companies and see what happens. Also a letter from the courts, not your attorney would probably help. You need state/county proof that the charges were dropped.

 

I apologize.I meant that I have paperwork from the court as well as from my lawyer.Thanks for the reply.I have applied with several companies and am waiting to see.

 

I think I'd also try to get the public record sealed and all court and correctional records expunged. No trace of a record or court proceeding at all is the goal. BOL

 

It would be best to try and get it expunged. There will still be a record, at this point, but as long as the paperwork is in order I don't think it will cause you a problem. You might want to address your concerns to a couple of the recruiters on the board, such as Twilight Flyer or Sheepdancer.
