Judge Mike Fields changes his approach towards the DIVERT program

Judge Mike Fields was one of two judges in Houston, Harris County Texas that were on record stating they would not be following the DIVERT program that was initiated by Harris County District Attorrney's Office earlier this year. It turns out that Judge Fields has changed his stance by approving the first DIVERT candidate this week. That leaves Judge Bill Harmon as the only misdemeanor judge that will not allow a person to enter the program. Hopefully, Judge Harmon will stop being the rebel judge and start allowing a case to be reset for the necessary time for a defendant to complete the program.
