First Judicial Circuit (Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton). Procedural information only; not legal advice.
• Neither the defendant nor any member of the defendant’s immediate family may contact the victim or any member of the victim’s immediate family to acquire the victim’s consent which is required for the program. • The criminal charges against the defendant shall be continued without final disposition for the period of the intervention. The pretrial intervention will last for a minimum of thirty (30) days and a maximum of one (1) year. A defendant’s pretrial intervention shall be revoked and the criminal charges shall be resumed at any time the court, program administrator, or state attorney finds that the defendant is not fulfilling his or her obligations in the program or if the public interest so requires. • The Court may not appoint the public defender to represent an indigent defendant released to the pretrial intervention program unless the intervention is revoked and the defendant is subject to imprisonment if convicted. • The Department of Community Corrections shall be the Program Administrator and shall supervise the pretrial intervention program. The program shall provide appropriate counseling, education, supervision, and medical and psychological treatment as available and appropriate for the defendants in the program. • Defendants participating in the pretrial intervention program shall pay an administrative fee to the program administrator of $255.00 for a battery offense and $150.00 for all other offenses. This is a one-time fee. Failure to pay this fee shall be grounds for revoking the defendant’s participation in the program. • Defendants participating in the pretrial intervention program shall pay a state attorney fee of $100.00 to the program administrator. This is a one-time fee. Failure to pay this fee shall be grounds for revoking the defendant’s participation in the program. • At the end of the intervention period, the program administrator shall recommend: a. That the case be returned to prosecution channels if the defendant has performed unsatisfactorily in the program; b. That the offender needs further supervision; or c. That prosecution is not necessary. Based on the administrator’s recommendation, the state attorney shall make the final determination as to whether to proceed with prosecution or to dismiss the charges.
Neither the defendant nor any member of the defendant’s immediate family may contact the victim or any member of the victim’s immediate family to acquire the victim’s consent which is required for the program.
