Summary

Existing law permits a defendant to withdraw his or her plea of guilty or plea of nolo contendere and enter a plea of not guilty in any case in which a defendant has fulfilled the conditions of probation for the entire period of probation, or has been discharged prior to the termination of the period of probation, or in any other case in which a court, in its discretion and the interests of justice, determines that a defendant should be granted this or other specified relief. This bill would authorize a court to allow a defendant sentenced to county jail for a felony to withdraw his or her plea of guilty or plea of nolo contendere and enter a plea of not guilty, after the lapse of one or 2 years following the defendant's completion of the sentence, as specified, provided that the defendant is not under supervision as specified, and is not serving a sentence for, on probation for, or charged with the commission of any offense. The bill would provide that the defendant would be released from all penalties and disabilities resulting from the offense of which he or she has been convicted, except as specified.
