My boyfriend was arrested for marijuana possession in Alabama. He’s a first-time offender with a completely clean record and was offered pre-trial diversion. We were told it would last 6 months and involve random drug testing. We’re trying to understand: is it possible for diversion to last less than 6 months? Are there any options for shortening it, like completing drug classes or community service early? Just trying to understand what his options are and how flexible the process typically is.
Hey ****! In Alabama, pre-trial diversion programs generally last as stipulated by the agreement, often around 6 months. However, early completion might be possible if all requirements, like drug classes or community service, are fulfilled early. It's best to consult the program coordinator or a local attorney for specific guidance.
