You definitely need to contact an attorney licensed there in CT for the best answer. In Texas, expunctions are only available to individuals that were either found not guilty or had the charges against them dropped prior to trial. The purpose of the expunction is the get the arrest removed from the record of someone who was not actually convicted of the crime. Again, I am not sure what the laws are in CT, but if you were in Texas an expunction would not be appropriate. I hope this helps.
