Pre-Trial Diversion
Our pre-trial diversion program is an important part of our office. The program is an alternative to prosecution, which seeks to divert certain non-violent offenders from traditional criminal prosecution into a program, which focuses on rehabilitation and supervision.
Victim Services
One of the District Attorney’s most important jobs is protecting the rights of victims of crime. The Mississippi Crime Victim Bill of Rights provides several rights, privileges, and notices to crime victims throughout the criminal justice process.
Drug Court
The sixteenth circuit court district offers an intensive, highly structured drug court program to help treat drug and alcohol addiction.
Bad Check Division
Section 97-19-55 of the Mississippi Code, commonly known as the “Mississippi Bad Check Law”, authorizes District Attorney’s Offices throughout the state to assist victims of bad check writers in recovering restitution.
