I am filling out papers asking for a pardon but wondering what kind of questions they come around and ask friends and co-workers/ I am wondering if this will just stir up old things of the past. Where I work it is not known. It has never been known anywhere I have worked. That question never was asked and I never lied. I turned ina resume' and it was never asked of me. I am looking for some help on what to do. I have a letter from a former judge exectutive and one from a senator and one from a former respresentative. I just don't know whetehr to pursue it or not.:)

Did you lie on the application or resume ?
Would the place you work fire you if they found out ?
Only you know this, what will the pardon do to help you in your future that you don't have now

Hello cline:
I don't know that they EVEN come around. Who told you that? I think it's nothing more than a legal procedure where you've got your lawyer on one side telling the judge that you're a fine human being, and you've got your prosecutor on the other side telling the judge that you NEVER should have been released from the slam in the first place...
Now, unless your crime was HIGH profile, and/or there is a reason for them to oppose you vigorously, I wouldn't think the DA will do any kind of serious investigation about you.
But, of course, these people are real pricks, so they certainly might. If you NOW have a job that you might lose because of an investigation, then you're going to have to weigh that stuff.
