Laws governing expungment vary from state to state. In Michigan, for example, one has to have absolutely no other criminal convictions on their record whatsoever. They have to be five years removed from their conviction and/or completion of their sentence. There are usually other criteria as well such as the applicant must never have tried and failed to get the conviction expunged and they cannot already have had a conviciton expunged. There is usually a state court form that must be filled out and filed with the court, the prosecutor's office, the attorney general and two sets of fingerprint cards along with the application and applicable fee filed with the state police. Assuming that there is some similarity between the various states statutes governing these matters it would appear to me that you would probably not be eligible until at the earliest sometime in 2010. The best advice I can give you is to schedule an appointment with an attorney licensed in Indiana who practices criminal law.
