My client was charged with kidnapping, robbery, carjacking, and assault with force likely to create great bodily injury, all felonies that carry the possibility of prison time. I challenged the District Attorney’s evidence at a preliminary hearing and brought to light weaknesses in the case against my client. I filed a motion asking the judge to grant my client mental health diversion. At the contested hearing on my motion, I pointed out the weaknesses in the District Attorney’s case against my client. The judge granted my motion and allowed my client to engage in treatment. If she successfully completes diversion, all of her charges will be dismissed.
