Katherine Robertson v. State of Mississippi

COLEMAN, Justice,

for the Court:

¶ 1. Katherine Robertson pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in 2006. In 2012, Governor Haley Barbour pardoned Robertson, and she filed a motion to have her record expunged. The circuit judge denied the motion, and Robertson appealed. The issue presented was a novel one when Robertson filed her appeal, but it has since been decided. The Court recently held that statutory authority does not provide for expungement of a pardoned conviction. Polk v. State, 150 So.3d 967 (Miss.2014). Therefore, we affirm the trial court’s denial of Robertson’s motion to expunge.
