Ind. Decisions - Indiana Supreme Court rules forensic diversion is discretionary
In Ruble v. State, a 4-page, 5-0 opinion, Chief Justice Shepard writes:
Appellant James F. Ruble pled guilty to operating a vehicle after his driving privileges had been suspended for life, a class C felony. On appeal, he has contended that the trial court should have assigned him to serve his sentence through forensic diversion. The Court of Appeals held that the Indiana Code mandates he be assigned to diversion, and reversed. We conclude otherwise and affirm the trial court.
