<p class="MsoNormal">Concerning post-adjudication, multiple charges:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the face of it—This sounds just fine, assuming it’s appropriate under tribal law.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">From a due process stance—Wellness Court would serve as a sentencing carrot, even if only for some of the charges. Should they be unsuccessfully discharged, they would then face the sentence they would have for the drug/alcohol related
charges. However, since it will be piece-meal, it’s even more critical that the consequences and advantages be explained.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The other charges/convictions cannot interfere with the Wellness Court eligibility, such as violent offenses or severe violent child abuse, depending on what is listed in tribal code and/or the policies and procedures manual.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">From a treatment stand point -- Should the other charges/convictions result in a jail sentence, I would be concerned about the participant’s access to treatment while they are incarcerated. Should they serve jail—are there any services
the Wellness Court can provide while in jail?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Note</i>: Wellness Court eligibility does not <i>have</i> to be limited to drug/alcohol related charges. Courts often do impose such a limitation as a means of controlling flow into the Wellness Court. But the primary concern is whether
the person is clinically in need of treatment. This participant’s eligibility is of course limited to what is stated in tribal code and/or the policy and procedure manual.

<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is a follow up on a question I had about pre-adjudication or post-adjudication. In post-adjudication situations where there are multiple charges (drug or alcohol related being one), can the defendant plead guilty to the drug/alcohol
charges for HTWC and then the other charges still go through trial? (this is for adult HTWC)<o:p></o:p></p>
