It depends on who is deeming what important. A convict serving 30 years in prison for stealing a pack of gum from a store will probably find the length of time more important than the charge of theft since they have to serve it. An employer may not care one way or another if the length of time served was one hour or 30 years if the charge was murder. It's all in the eye of the beholder.

What is the difference between a charge and a conviction And what does it mean on your criminal background If you are charged but not convicted.?

A charge is merely an accusation; probable cause is needed to charge someone, but that is a low standard. A conviction means that a judge or jury found you guilty; guilt beyond a reasonable doubt is required for a conviction and that is a very high standard. If you are charged but not convicted, a normal background check won't show it.
