About Supervision and Convictions
Once a person has been charged with a criminal case, ranging anywhere from a simple ordinance violation or traffic ticket up through and including the most serious felony charges, there are only three possible dispositions: First, the case can ultimately be dismissed for one of a number of reasons.
Second, the person can be convicted of the charge that has been brought against him. That conviction carries with it the corresponding penalties.
