I have done over 100 expungements for people in this area. Once a charge has been pardoned you can in fact have it expunged. You are semi-correct, however, as the charge will remain on your criminal record until expunged.
Too bad you didn’t think of that before you got in trouble LOSER.
Unfortunately, a full Governors pardon does “NOT” clear your record. Not in the state of Kentucky. When someone like a potential employer does a background check on you, your whole criminal history is there for them to see. It is not expunged. There is no such thing a felony expungement in the state of Kentucky as of this date. I verified this with the commonwealth attorneys office just yesterday. Exceptions need to be made for people who receive full pardons or, what good is a full pardon? Employers will still not hire you if they see your criminal history.
