This form is used to allow someone accused of a minor crime to avoid trial and a criminal record by completing a diversion program (like counseling, classes, or community service) instead. A person would need this form if they've been charged with a misdemeanor and both the prosecutor and judge agree they're a good candidate for this alternative program.
This form must be printed and filled by hand, or opened in Adobe Acrobat.
