easilyscan 924 Posted April 22 It's not April 1, so I have to believe this is true. The government really protects its own here in MINNY-SODA. https://alphanews.org/mary-moriarty-declines-to-charge-tesla-vandal-in-felony-damage-spree/ Adult diversion The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office recognizes that there are times when public safety is best served by diverting first-time offenders from the criminal justice system. Adult diversion programs refer these offenders to social services, chemical dependency or mental health resources. First-time offenders are closely monitored to make sure they meet program expectations. The goals set include accountability, taking advantage of services offered, remaining law-abiding, completing community service, and paying restitution. Every successful diversion reduces costs in the criminal justice system and reduces the number of repeat offenders. The Hennepin County Attorney's Office administers adult diversion programs for drug and property crime offenders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Engorgeous George 2,331 Posted April 23 Laughable. Diversion is for first time, one time offenders or offenders of reduced mental capacity due to addictions which might be treated. In this instance the defendant was not a one time, first time offender. No, this defendant was involved in an ongoing criminal enterprise. he had time to weigh and evaluate his actions and he deliberately undertook his criminal conduct in the face of that. His was a crime where the circumstances were aggravated as they were repeated. As for the spurious argument that if he is imprisoned he will not be in a position to pay restitution, hogwash. He is a government employee. He has a pension which can be attached. Do so. This is a shady, sweetheart deal where the insane governor looks to the prosecutor of the same party to put up in front of a judge of the same party a ridiculous deal, poorly justified, to get off a member of that political party. This is dirty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
