FAQ
A type of determination that is called a dismissal but does not terminate the proceedings is a dismissal with leave. It is authorized in narrow circumstances—that is, when a defendant fails to appear in court on criminal charges or the defendant has not yet completed a deferred prosecution.
The program seeks to give certain individuals facing criminal charges a second chance to avoid a conviction and its consequences. The deferred prosecution program may be available to eligible individuals facing charges for certain non-violent criminal offenses. This opportunity is not granted automatically.
Alternatively, for certain offenses, the state and defendant may enter into a “conditional discharge” agreement after a guilty plea or finding of guilt. If the defendant successfully completes the term of probation, the adjudication of guilt is withdrawn and the case is dismissed.
Negotiating a Pretrial Diversion Program Pretrial diversion programs typically involve the defendant completing specific requirements, such as community service, counseling, or educational programs. If the defendant successfully fulfills the program's conditions, the prosecutor may agree to dismiss the charges.
DPAs - Disadvantages A DPA can be extremely demanding as the court can impose enforceable undertakings, which would not be the case on conviction following trial. Companies who accept a DPA may therefore be subject to more scrutiny of their corporate governance than those who do not cooperate.
