What is the difference between a Continuance without a Finding and a Guilty?
They are very similar for most purposes but a continuation/ continuance without a finding (CWOF) is not considered a conviction, and therefore you can honestly answer if anyone asks you if you “Have ever been convicted of a crime?”, the truthful answer is no. A CWOF does mean that you agree that there are “sufficient facts to establish your guilt. It also will absolutely count as a prior offense or probation violation if you get in trouble with the law again.
