I have 2 misdemeanors which are possession of fireworks (2002) and criminal trespass (2004). Both of the cases were dismissed and closed after a deferred sentence condition of paying a fine and community service. I was never convicted and never went to jail. Don't really know what to answer in these questions since my cases were dismissed and closed....
