It may. Depends on how background checks are done and if your records were sealed since you were a minor.
1. Did you go to CYA? If you did and were honorably discharged, you can probably petition the court to set aside the verdict and have it dismissed.
Expungement as mentioned above (which will also seal and destroy records) can really only occur if you didn't have any other moral turpitude convictions and didn't violate Welfare and Institutions Code Section 707(b). Here is where you can locate the statute: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=wic&group=00001-01000&file=675-714
