What happens if the defendant fails to complete diversion?
If the defendant fails to complete diversion, the court will find the defendant guilty. The judge will then impose the sentence that was agreed to on the diversion plea agreement. What happens if the defendant fails to appear for a court appearance? The court will issue a warrant for the defendant’s arrest. If you know the whereabouts of the defendant, you may call Crime Stop at the Police Department at 602-262-6151. Is there anyone who can help me through this process?
