 16 years ago, Adam Osmond was convicted of a misdemeanor charge, his only brush with the law. Osmond, who maintains that he was wrongly accused, was happy when Connecticut passed its clean slate law, which would automatically erase misdemeanors after seven years in certain low class felonies after 10. The erasure was scheduled for the beginning of 2023. Osmond, who has done extensive research on criminal convictions in Connecticut, says he waited and waited more than a year for his record to be erased.
