How long is the pretrial diversion program
Normally this means that instead of a case going to trial it can be diverted from prosecution if the Defendant enters a pretrial intervention program.

Individuals who pose a low flight risk and low risk of committing new crimes are typically best suited for pretrial release and diversion programs. Those who have strong community ties, stable housing, and supportive relationships are often successful in these programs. Additionally, individuals who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives and are open to engaging in support services are well-suited for pretrial release and diversion.
Of course, pretrial means before your trial. So any type of program in which were released from jail prior to your trial is known as pretrial release. It could be in the form of bail, own recognizance, or supervised release (meaning you will have to report often to the court's pretrial release program office on a regular basis, usually every week). After your trial or disposition of your case you are dismissed from your pretrial release program.
In some cases, a pretrial diversion may not appear on a criminal background check because the charges are dismissed upon successful completion. However, it is possible that some background check systems may still show records of the arrest or charges during the diversion period. It is best to consult with a legal professional for accurate information regarding the specific circumstances.

Under Mississippi Code of 1972, ann., your dilatory plea would be place on hold and once you successfully complete Pre-Trial Diversion, the Hearing Judge will sign an order dismissing the charge(s). Once that is complete, you can hire an attorney and have your record expunged.I hope that helps.
You should talk to a lawyer. Each state and even each court has different rules for what they will allow to go into a diversion program, and when they will allow it. Some only allow minors, some allow diversion only for a first charge, some allow diversion more than once. You need to talk to your lawyer and find out whether your case is eligible for diversion.
They will probably put a warrant out on you, and give you a year in the county jail, as an example to the others in the diversion program.
Only if you successfully complete the terms and requirements of whatever "diversion" program you were sent to participate in. If you do not abide by the terms of the diversion, it will go down as a conviction on your record.
A pre-trial diversion program is basically a get out of jail free card. A plan is set up whereby the offender must follow all of the rules written in the agreement between the offender, the District Attorney, the offenders lawyer, and a judge. It might involve doing community service, a drug treatment program or other programs in lieu of going to court for a minor offense. States have different rules that must be followed for this type of program.
