Quillin, Judge,

¶1 dissenting.

¶2 When it comes to sealing criminal records, the legislature, in its wisdom, has determined to treat those who admit their guilt and request treatment in lieu of conviction differently from those who do not. There is simply no other reading of R.C. 2951.041(H). If R.C. 2951.041(H) doesn’t apply in this case, it never applies in any case. And, if it never applies in any case, what is the purpose of the statute?
