The statute, in plain terms

Section 13-905 has no waiting period beyond sentence completion. Subsection (P) excludes dangerous offenses, sex offenses requiring registration, victims under 15, and select DUIs. Set-aside is discretionary — the court considers rehabilitation, the offense circumstances, and the petitioner's post-conviction conduct. A strong personal statement is the most important factor in granted petitions.
