A person convicted of a level A offense can move to vacate the conviction
What the document says“A person convicted of any level A offense (or an attorney representing such a person) may move the court that imposed the sentence for the level A offense to vacate the judgment of conviction if the level A offense was committed as a direct result of the person having been a victim of trafficking.”
The first of the three motions the new section creates. A person convicted of a level A offense, or an attorney representing that person, may move to vacate the judgment of conviction. The motion goes to the court that imposed the sentence. The ground is that the offense was committed as a direct result of the person having been a victim of trafficking.
What the document actually says“A person convicted of any level A offense (or an attorney representing such a person) may move the court that imposed the sentence for the level A offense to vacate the judgment of conviction if the level A offense was committed as a direct result of the person having been a victim of trafficking.”
A person found guilty of a level A crime can ask a judge to wipe out that ruling. Their lawyer can ask too. They must show the crime came from being forced.
The ask goes to the court that gave the sentence. The crime must not be a violent one. Level A crimes are the ones that are not violent.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
