Pretrial Diversion Available For All Types Of Cases
A lot of discussion has occurred the last of couple of weeks concerning the DWI Pretrial Diversion Program around the Harris County Courthouse. Luckily, this has also opened the door for other types of cases to be more easily considered for pretrial diversion. I have personally encountered prosecutors being receptive to a pretrial diversion for theft, possession of marijuana, and possession of cocaine cases. In the past, a request for a pretrial diversion was akin to asking for a prosecutor's first born in Harris County. For the sake of anyone accused of a crime I hope this trend continues.
