About ten years ago I was addicted to heroin and racked up about 15 shoplifting charges in a six month period. I had never been arrested for anything before this and have never been arrested since. I was charged but never convicted because I never went to court. I now lead a normal life, clean and sober, working etc.. And I would like to know whether I would be eligible for a pardon or will I be obligated to " turn myself in " in order to deal with this?
