On or about March 5, 1988, San Mateo Police arrested Kelly McGuirk for petty theft.
On or about April 13, 1988, the San Mateo County district attorney's office filed criminal complaint number SM169903A against McGuirk for that arrest. McGuirk pleaded guilty to the charge, a misdemeanor.
This case was "expunged"
On March 4, 2021, McGuirk filed in San Mateo County Superior Court a "Notice of Motion and Motion toDismiss Pursuant to PC1203.4" to have the guilty conviction dismissed. (The Sacramento County Superior Court has a very helpful explanation of how that works.) On that same day, McGuirk also filed to have all court fees waived, which was granted by the court.
On March 23, 2021, the court granted McGuirk's motion to dismiss pursuant to PC 1203.4/1203.4a, and this conviction for theft (which appears to have already been expunged because it was over 30 years old) is "wiped from the books." But only to a point: that a Dismissal Pursuant to PC 1203.4 is on record, it means that there had been a conviction there first, and this case is mentioned in a subsequent felony theft case filed in 2025 against Kelly McGuirk.
EDITORIAL COMMENT: A defendant, convicted of theft, petitions the court for The People of California to pay the expenses of purging the criminal record of that theft.
Does Kelly McGuirk ever pay for anything for herself? We know of at least eight theft convictions (and two more cases pending), a swindled lawn, "office supplies" expensed to the Association, free ads in the association's newsletters for her husband's business, this manipulative behavior, and that deceptive behavior.
