Q: Should I request time served for the year I served before my release on bail, take the 1year probation or go all the way?: I'm currently on out on bail for dist. Class B substance, subsequent offence. I was arrested on 11/14/2014, was held until 11/22/2015 (1 year for violation of probation) and released on bail for the new charges. The last court hearing I assisted, I was offered a 3-5year sentence as a plea agreement and decided to skip bail and go on the run. I was recently rearrested on 11/4/2022 appeared before a judge on 11/8/2022, was granted bail and released. I recently got a letter from the clerk of court to appear for a Conference to Review Status. I contacted the court appointed attorney and he said that the reason for the conference is because the courts cannot find my file, and for that reason the D.A. is agreeing to reduce the charges to a Possession charge with a 1year of probation if I pled guilty at the hearing.

Q: I was convicted of a DUI in New Hampshire seven years ago. Will the conviction appear on a FBI NCIC fingerprint check?: I was at the time and continue to be a resident of Massachusetts. Massachusetts allows misdemeanors to be sealed after five years. It takes ten years for DUI to be sealed in NH. It is my understanding that the informational will first need to be sent to the MA Office of Criminal Information Records. If the information from NCIC is first provided to the MA office of Criminal Info Services and then sent to the Massachusetts based requester, will the MA office of Criminal Services have to prevent this information from being sent? Seeing that it contradicts MA law; the five year sealing period has passed. Will they inform me and allow me to seal the information before it is sent to the requester/informer?
