I know this person right they got charged with;
1. Assualt with intent to rob whilst being armed with an offensive and dangerous weapon
2. Malicious wounding inflicting GBH
They were aged 14 and 15 at the time of being charged and was subsequently convicted and incarcerated for four and a half years with a non- parole period of two years and two and a half parole. The maximum a juvenile can get from the childrens court is a control order of two years. These people were at childrens court but because the charge was a serious indictable offense they were moved to the Downing center (Adult court) to be charged as adults. Nature of the crime was as the charge quoted above. Offensive weapon = machete, Dangerous weapon = 0.22 long rifle, bolt action.
They have long since done their time and were released in 2001, if I remember correctly - now its 2008 and they want to know if they apply for a job and it had the usual "Do you have a criminal record?" Do they need to tick? As they were juveniles at the time and its been over 5 years now I would think that the conviction is now considered "spent" and no declaration is necessary?
I know the cops will always have that information on their system, but what I need to know is do those juveniles need to declare? Or are they okay to tick NO for NO criminal record?
Anyone knowledgeable who knows the answer?
