Today a district court vacated a 1982 conviction which was caused my client's FID to get suspended. He made a crappy inspection sticker for his car with a sharpie and piece of cardboard due to a cracked windshield and was given the felony charge of false MV document. Because that was a felony his lawyer worked out a "deal" to get a $100 fine for receiving stolen goods, a misdemeanor with 2 1/2 years potential sentence. Of course that was bad advice. On top of that the docket sheet was all messed up and still said the original charge although the CORI said a hybrid of the amended charge "receiving stolen good mv docs". So the judge vacated the whole thing and then the case was dismissed outright.
We've been working on this since March 2020. I looked at all the old dockets from 1982 and the piles of old citations sent to the court from back then to try to find somewhere that the new charges where written. The Commissioner of Probation also could not find out why messed up on the CORI.
