Posted one or two similar things here before, but I just want to ask some of the regular users here who answer a lot of these questions-- have there been any cases in the past where someone's been charged with theft from employer (breach of trust) and actually received diversion?
I'm in British Columbia. Online I found a reliable source that sets out the guidelines for Crown Counsels to make considerations for an offender who applies for diversion. I applied for it on my first court date, and the second time I appeared at court they told me my file needed to be updated (the Crown there that day said I was likely rejected).
I don't have the money to get an actual lawyer, but there's a law students' legal advice program that can possible represent me. Would I have a chance for diversion if my "lawyer" were to try to persuade the Crown?
