Bill Would Remove Criminal Records after N.C. Pardon
The criminal records of a person who receives a pardon
of innocence from the governor -- such as the wrongfully convicted Darryl Hunt
-- would be eliminated from the court system in a bill that cleared a House
judiciary panel Thursday.
Hunt spent 18 years in prison for the slaying of a Winston-Salem woman before
DNA evidence exonerated him. Gov. Mike Easley gave him a pardon of innocence in
April 2004, meaning he was officially cleared in the slaying.
But a pardon doesn't mean the records chronicling his case automatically are
removed from the official court files, said Rep. Pricey Harrison, D-Guilford,
the bill's primary sponsor.
Harrison filed the bill after Hunt spoke to a gathering of first-term House
Democrats.
The bill, if passed, would mean those records would be deleted for Hunt and
other individuals who have received such pardons.
The expunction also would allow Hunt or others pardoned due to wrongful
conviction to state truthfully in court or on a job application that they
haven't been charged or convicted of a crime.
The current law allows for the expungement of records in some cases, including
misdemeanors and some felonies for juvenile offenders, and convictions on
first-time drug offenses. A one-time expungement is also allowed when a person
is charged, but the charges are later dismissed or the person is found not
guilty.
The judiciary panel recommended the measure to the full House on a voice vote.
