My wife entered into a county pre-trial Diversion program which is not considered a conviction under state law. It was advised that if she stays out of trouble for one year that she can go back to court and have the case dismissed (meaning, she was supposed to be out on bond for a year with case pending) sort of like supervision.
After she went into the program, she was instructed to report to a Probation Officer assigned to her case for supervision and community service. After all documents were signed and she explained how the program works, she said "Ok, now I have to hold you for immigration and immediatley, 2 county officers walked in and held her until immigration picked her up!
She never went in front of a judge for this case at all. She was present at court for every date (one year almost) in the hallway. NEVER SAID GUILTY TO ANYONE! Since I took responsibility and plead guilty, I was sentenced to probation and was not able to travel at the time she entered into the program. They kept on questioning her status from the attorney prior to accepting her into the program! Finally, after showing them a copy of the green card, she allegedly signed the required court documents to enter the program.
My wife has a heart condition and has been denied bond because the charging documents say she is not eligable becuase of manditory detention is required while she faces these proceedings.
They are basing thier whole case on one little paper which is not even certified!
PLEASE, if anyone knows any information that may guide me through this or someone who has been released on similar charges, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! She dose not deserve to go through this especially after what she has been through in her life. Besides, I personally took responsibility for the criminal case and plead guilty. PLEASE HELP!
