What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? KY
Back in 2006 I had my own side business here at my house doing paint and body repair on motorcycles. A kid I worked with said he had some business for me and that a friend of his wanted his motorcycle painted the same color as his truck. Thats not a odd request. I've paint bikes to match vehicles quite a few times. Well I get the bike all prepped and ready to paint, and detectives stormed the place we worked at. They pulled me to the side and asked if I knew anything about a few bikes being stolen from where we worked. I had no idea what they were talking about. I was the Service Managers right hand man and pretty much ran the shop when he was gone. They asked me if I had a specific bike at my house, and I told them there was a bike like that at my house for paint work, but I didn't know if it was the bike they were looking for. Well it was. I had NO IDEA the bike was stolen. The VIN was still there and everything. I end up getting charged with Receiving Stolen Property over $300 and my attorney made a deal with the judge to amend it down to attempt to receive stolen property but left it at OVER $300 so now I STILL have a felony on my background. What good did it possibly do to amend it to that? I can't get a job ANYWHERE and my wife and I are about to lose our home and everything we own because I can't get a job. I've called about having it expunged, but Im being told it cant be expunged for 5 years. WHAT CAN I DO? Can I take this back to court?
