Traffic Violations
Sex Crimes
In 1994 the Board of Directors of the Defender Programs of San Diego bestowed on staff attorney, Carmela Simoncini, the annual E. Stanley Conant Award for her unselfish devotion and diligence in protecting the rights of the indigent accused. Presenting the award to Ms. Simoncini was her former client, Frederick R. Daye, who had served eight years of a lengthy term for rape when Ms. Simoncini took his case and, through DNA testing on evidence that had been about to be destroyed, was able to prove Mr. Daye’s innocence.
Theft
Misdemeanors
MHD (Mental Health Division (Pen. Code, §§ 1001.35 & 1001.36.) These sections provide for discretionary diversion of qualified defendants with mental disorders. The court is given authority to order diversion of defendants who have committed a misdemeanor or felony and who suffer from a diagnosed mental illness that “played a significant role in the commission of the charged offense.” (Pen. Code, § 1001.36, subd. (b)(2).) The court must determine whether the defendant meets certain statutory criteria and be satisfied the defendant will not pose an unreasonable risk of danger to public safety. If a defendant successfully completes a mental treatment program within two years, the criminal charges are dismissed. If a defendant in a diversion treatment program is charged with a new crime or performs unsatisfactorily in the program, the trial court must hold a hearing to determine whether the original criminal proceedings should be reinstated.
Drug Crimes

Homicide victims are not included, nor are adults bringing an action for wrongdoing committed during the plaintiff's minority, nor minors tried as an adult in criminal court.
