(a) No person shall suffer any legal disqualification or disability because of his conviction of a crime or his sentence on such conviction, unless the disqualification or disability involves the deprivation of a right or privilege which is: (1) necessarily incident to execution of the sentence of the court; (2) provided by this Title; (3) provided by a statute other than this Title, when the conviction is of a crime defined by such statute; or (4) provided by the order or regulation of an agency or official exercising a jurisdiction conferred by law, or by the statute defining such jurisdiction, when the commission of the crime or the conviction or the sentence is reasonably related to the competency of the individual to exercise the right or privilege of which he is deprived. (b) Proof of a conviction as relevant evidence upon the trial or determination of any issue, or for the purpose of impeaching the convicted person as a witness is not a disqualification or disability within the meaning of this Chapter.

COL03252013 1 INCIDENT TO CONVICTION OR IMPRISONMENT
COMMENT: § 82.10 essentially restates a fact that any legal disqualification resulting from conviction must be authorized by law, or implied by law. "Code" replaced by Title to reflect the fact that this Title 9 was originally the "Criminal & Correctional Code" and that the original references were to that Code, not to the entire Guam Code Annotated.
