Question by ali: What is the difference between a charge and a conviction?
Last night, my friend was “charged” with marijuana possession and he was a juvenile. He has to go to court sometime. Is this a conviction? Meaning it will show on his records/job applications/etc.? Or is it a charge that will be erased when he turns 18?

Best answer:

Answer by Reagan ’12
Being charged means you have the chance of being convicted but an investigation/court hearing is to follow to prove whether you are innocent or guilty of the crime. Convicted means that you are found guilty of the crime. Typically it can be expunged from juvenile record when turning 18, but it depends on number of offenses and what the judge rules, etc. If your friend has a court date, then he has only been charged, the court hearing will determine whether he is convicted or not.    Read more...
