Darian Marshall was looking for a fresh start.
The 41-year-old owns his own refrigerator and air conditioning repair business. But he didn't become an entrepreneur out of choice. A 17-year-old arrest for possession left him with little choice, he says.
"It makes life difficult being unemployed," said Marshall. "That's why I became an entrepreneur."
But like thousands of others who filled the first floor of the Roberto Clemente Community Academy for the fourth annual "Expungement Summit" over the weekend, Marshall still aspires to something better.
The summit, organized by Clerk of Courts Dorothy Brown, included representatives of the state's attorney's office, the public defender's office, Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Police Department, among other agencies offering advice on how to clear a past criminal arrest or conviction.By 11:35, 2,500 people had signed up, organizers said.
