A "Withhold" is a special sentence in which the judge orders probation but does not formally convict the defendant. Florida Statute §948.01 vests Florida judges with the authority to withhold adjudication for defendants charged with minor offense who are not likely to engage in criminal conduct again.. A withhold of adjudication is not a conviction; therefore, you avoided the negative consequences that could result from a criminal conviction such as the loss of certain civil rights.

If you have already had this record expunged then there is no real reason to ask for a pardon or "clemency".

The inability for the state to identify you as the person who committed the crime is an absolute defense. Moreover, if the officers arrested you based on a mistaken identity you may be able to challenge your initial arrest based on lack of probable cause prior to trial.
