Or the circuit clerk didn’t forward a copy of the judgment to the Highway Patrol’s CJIS division. This happens a lot more often then you’d like to think; not everything is nefarious or neglectful on the part of law enforcement.

There are a number of other non-nefarious scenarios where the computer record doesn’t get expunged like it should.
