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?

Yes, I would use at least the student program if you have nothing else. What has been the response when you asked about the program earlier?

Thank you for dropping by to answer! About the student program, I have not gotten into contact as of yet because I am still due to appear in court, which is actually today. I just hope I will have a chance to make up for my wrongdoing through alternative measures.
