Expungment Granted Over D.A. Objection

19 year old girl and future nurse charged with obstructing an officer for lying and saying she was driving a car that crashed when she really wasn't even in the car. She plead guilty to the charge and her lawyer never requested expungment. About five years later she contacted Attorney Griessmeyer who petitioned the court for expungment. The Judge noted that it should have been addressed at the original sentencing but said that based on the information presented in Attorney Griessmeyer's motion, he wouldgo out on a limb and grant the expungment. The prosecutor opposed the expungment and argued that the law does not allow it unless it is requested at the time of sentencing. Now she is able to get a nursing license and help other people.
