The prosecutor's office needs a complete overhaul and we have the best candidate in years running against Bill Mason. Her name is Annette Butler and she is a 24 year veteran of the US Attorney's office. The crux of her campaign is to bring fairness and accountability to the office of the prosecuting attorney. The first order of business will be OPEN DISCOVERY (Yes, Virginia, OPEN DISCOVERY is real and will be available in January, 2009 if Annette is elected...). Her campaign platform is available for review at www.butler4prosecutor.com and she can be reached directly at (216) 851-3259. Clearly this is an uphill battle, but we see wrongs that need righting and will fight to the bitter end to Take Back Cuyahoga County! Russ,

When possible, I prefer treatment in lieu. The difficulty here is that my client is charged with two third-degree felonies, trafficking and possession, and neither EIP not treatment in lieu is available for trafficking offenses at any level, or for third degree felonies. The state will have to amend the indictment to get rid of the trafficking charge and reduce the possession charge, and they can condition that reduction on my client entering EIP.

If you want a plea bargain followed by one of these programs, you would need prosecutor approval since plea bargain typically contemplate guilty pleas followed by actual conviction. I appreciate there is lot of misunderstanding about these two programs.
