Hello Buzzard,

Thank you for the information regarding diversion... I will mention it to her as an option.

As far as the dirty laundry goes... how is it ever going to get cleaned up, if it doesn't get aired?

Why not just get her an attorney and see if they can get her into a diversion program of some sort that would essentially dismiss the charge after the probation period?

As to "Basically airing the system's dirty laundry." - Threaten to do that and you are simply creating trouble for both yourself and your daughter.

1) It's very very doubtful that a judge would allow any such testimony. Testimony is limited to the facts surrounding the case, character of the accused being tried, credibility of witnesses, etc. - not what some other child or person "of privilege" received as a charge and/or sentence in any other matter.

2) Do you really want to PO a prosecutor who may be in a position to recommend a diversion program or agree to other lesser charges and/or punishments?
