US Attorney- Northern District of Ohio: Grant Diversion or Deferment programs for 1st time felony...
I have a family member who was targeted by a criminal who befriended her and then made her do something illegal by threatening her life and her families life. She is now facing felony charges even though she was the victim. She has never been in any criminal trouble, comes from a great family and now face having a felony conviction on her record because this administration does not grant diversion plans or deferment programs. Felony records will haunt someone for life and each circumstance should be considered. These harsh punishments to innocent people that are clearly victims are life altering in a negative way. I ask that you contact the US Attorneys office -District of Northern Ohio to change this action.
