Re: How screwed am I?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] If you've only been charged and haven't been convicted, I'm pretty sure that your employer has no right to find out about charges brought against you without a conviction (that whole pesky little "innocent until proven guilty" thing). [/ QUOTE ] This doesn't sound true at all. [/ QUOTE ] What? People get wrongly charged with crimes all the time. Those charges are dropped and they move on and since they haven't been convicted of the crime it means that in the eyes of the law they didn't do it and I don't see why an employer would have any right to that information (especially when it isn't even admissable in a court of law). [/ QUOTE ] He should apply hoping to get rejected - with a good lawyer, he could make a living off a lawsuit for it.

Re: How screwed am I?
nah that's wrong, being charged is public record, even if the gov doesn't have to tell you, it's public information and a private background check will turn it up.
you can have it expunged if it's dismissed or if you are convicted and file some stuff, but as it stands, public record.

I hate to say it, but a federal indictment will show up on most basic background checks.
