My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Virginia
I am filling out an application for a company that contracts with the government. This is the question on the application:
[I]Have you ever had a finding or verdict of guilt imposed by a court or have you otherwise been convicted or found guilty of a crime, regardless of whether any fine, penalty or sentence was imposed, served, probated, suspended, deferred (as in deferred adjudication), or otherwise withheld or set aside (for example, a finding of guilt or sentence held in abeyance and later dismissed upon meeting certain conditions such as good behavior, community service, completion of a course or other requirements)? Include any conviction by a general or special court-martial while in military service.
I am not completely sure how to answer this. Here are my circumstances: In 1997 I was charged with possession of marijuana. Later (during the court process) they added a charge of possession of psilocybin. I'm not sure exactly how my lawyer dealt with it, as in the actual plea. However I do know that the FINDING OF GUILT VACATED. I was placed on probation with drug screening and education. My driver's license was suspended for 6 months, however I did receive a restricted license for work purposes. I returned to court in 1999 for a dismissal of my case.
I was told that my record would show that I was charged but not show any CONVICTION.
With that being said, I am unsure as how to answer the question on the employment application.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
