CLEAN SLATES FOR YOUTHS SENTENCED FRAUDULENTLY
In Clean Slates for Youths Sentenced Fraudulently, The New York Times revealed that "The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania on Thursday ordered the slate cleaned for hundreds of youths who had been sentenced by a corrupt judge." The newspaper also reported that "The exact number of records to be expunged was not stated in the court’s order; a special master is investigating the cases."
This is welcome news. Maybe it will inspire South Carolina to pass both a Civil Contempt Expungement Act and a UNIFORM PROCEDURE FOR EXPUNGING CRIMINAL RECORDS.
