If the defendant has never been convicted of an assaultive crime, they will probably be eligible for the diversion program. Under the diversion program, they will need to go to counseling and stay out of trouble while on probation. If they are successful, the charges will be dismissed from their public record; if they are unsuccessful, it will be on their permanent record. |
