Question about previous infraction for SF86 - Question 22.2

Marko,

You have leaps and bounds more experience than I do when it comes to this SF-86 stuff; therefore, I advise the OP that he/she should follow your advice over mine if you believe he/she should answer yes.

I just read the post, noted that the OP indicated that he/she was not convicted of the offense; thus, I applied simple logic to a direct question. I did not know such a question had to be prefaced, then again we are talking about a form drafted by the federal government…

At any rate, in my state of residence a deferred judgement is not a conviction (unless the terms of probation are violated by defendant). So If I were asked by a client how they should answer question 22.2 I personally would remain steadfast in my original answer; however, I would also recommend they also browse this blog!
