Probation before Judgment?
I live in Maryland and not to long ago was put on Probation before Jury. It was a theft case. Will this show up on background check? Additional Details I live in Maryland and not to long ago was put on Probation before Jury. It was a theft case. Will this show up on background check? What will my employer actually see and will this hurt me from getting jobs?
Yes it will. Cases show up in a background check even if:
*Your case was dismissed; or
*You were acquitted (found not guilty); or
*Probation Before Judgment was entered; or
*A Nolle Prosequi was entered in your case (This occurs when the prosecutor decides to drop the case either before or during trial. Lawyers commonly refer to this as a “noll pros”); or
* The case was placed on the “stet docket,” an inactive group of cases which generally are not reopened.
However, the person running the check will see that it was PBJ. You CAN have such a record expunged if you apply for it. See link for details.
