Reponse On Withheld Judgement!
I am currently going through this process right not. To anwer you question let me pull something off of another web page and see if this will help to answer your question.
What does it mean to have the Adjudication Withheld?
Again, you cannot have adjudication withheld unless you have first been found guilty by the court. After a finding of guilt the court has the option of adjudicating you guilty or withholding the adjudication of guilt. By withholding the adjudication of guilt the court is not convicting you of the crime. If the offense is a felony you will not lose your civil rights. Having the adjudication of guilt withheld also leaves you eligible to have your criminal history record sealed or expunged so long as you do not have an adjudication of guilt in any other case and the offense qualifies.
I hope this helps!
