Should a defendant request his/her case to be heard by trial, the following procedures may be helpful in understanding the court procedures of a trial:
Should a defendant receive an alcohol or drug related offense, he/she may be eligible to apply for diversion. A diversion is a deferred type sentence; wherein if a defendant completes the conditions of his diversion sentence, then the case is considered dismissed. Please note that on all DUI offenses, you are only eligible for diversion on a first (lifetime) offense.
Once a defendant applies for diversion, he is required to obtain a drug and alcohol evaluation. The results of this evaluation will determine whether a defendant is eligible for the diversion program. Juan Dominguez of South Central Kansas Court Services in Wichita, Kansas conducts the drug and alcohol evaluations for the Clearwater Municipal Court.
