The Maryland Code also mandates that a court enter expungement if the individual is entitled and explicitly defines the limited circumstances when a court may determine that the person is not entitled. Md. Code Ann., Criminal Procedure \'a7 10-105(e) (Westlaw current through 2007 Regular Session) (\'93If the court at the hearing finds that the person is entitled to expungement, the court shall order the expungement of all police records and court records about the charge.\'94 ). Other states have expungement statutes that allow more discretion for the courts. Del. Code Ann. tit. 11 \'a7 4373(a) (Westlaw current through 76 Laws 2007, ch. 11.) (\'93 If the Court finds that the continued existence and possible dissemination of inf ormation relating to the arrest of the petitioner causes, or may cause, circumstances which constitute a manifest injustice to the petitioner, it shall enter an order requiring the expungement of the police and court records relating to the charge. Other wise, it shall deny the petition.\'94); Ohio Rev.

Pennsylvania courts can expunge without a statute and use certain factors in weighing the interests of the state in retaining the record against the individual\rquote s interest in expungement. The weighing factors include but are not limited to \'93 the strength of the Commonwealth's case against the petitioner, the reasons the Commonwealth gives for wishing to retain the records, the petitioner's age, criminal record, and employment history, the length of time that has elapsed between the arrest and the petition to expunge, and the specific adverse consequences the petitioner may endure should expunction be denied.\'94 }{\i\insrsid5769108\charrsid11688001 Commonwealth v.
