Innocent People Suffering at the Hands of the Judicial System

[ChelseaCenior]

The majority of people who are exonerated (determined to not be guilty of a crime that they have been serving time in prison for)are let out without apology, or compensation. When they look for a job, home/car/anything loan, they must provide the information that they have been convicted of a crime even though they have been proven by law not guilty. I propose that once exonerated, the records of exonerated person must be expunged (have their record cleared of the conviction)for all record of subject conviction.

1. Why don't the expunge records of those under age 21

who were charged with Minor In Possession of alcohol?
If the "minor" was under age 18 their record is automatically expunged when they turn 18. Why not do the same thing for 21 year olds since they are still considered "minors" when it comes to alcohol?

Don't get me started on the zero tolerance silliness.
