Answered over 3 years ago. I must tell you what you are requesting is extremely complicated and would require setting aside the original plea and to do so would be difficult. Folks don't realize if they plead to any crime like this they can and will be fired...the insurance companies that control the corporation or business will not allow them to employ anyone who may go "postal"...additionally you will never travel to Canada with this on your record..or perhaps to other countries.
Please talk to an attorney as you will be unemployable until this is resolved.
