A defendantâs whose granting of judicial diversion was delayed because he âwas too busyâ to fill out the required paperwork met all conditions laid out by a judge last month without further incident.
That action was among dozens taken during calling of the probation violation docket in Cumberland County Criminal Court Tuesday.
Assistant District Attorney Philip Hatch in a hearing last month moved to have Steve James Jagneaux denied judicial diversion, which was an original part of his original plea, because the defendant had failed to fill out paperwork required for a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation certificate. The certificate is needed for judicial diversion to be granted.
