Yesterday was the hearing. They JUST passed this new Supervised Pretrial Diversion, which is nothing more than Accelerated Rehabilitation for criminals. They can use it twice. There are conditions, community service, and previous convictions (which he has) ARE considered when deciding if he qualifies or not. Next date is 11/25/08. That's when the judge decides if he's qualfied. The judge sealed Baldwin's records. He is still in jail. The DA can also reject it. If the judge decides he is qualified, he'll go to a psyche facility and be evaluated. Don't know what'll happen after that.

What I'd like to know is this...IS IT LEGAL TO APPLY FOR A PROGRAM FOR CHARGES DONE BEFORE IT WAS VOTED INTO LAW?

We are writing letters to the Connecticut Probate Office, 253 Main Street, Ansonia, CT 06401 IMPLORING them to deny this program that has yet to be proved successful. Jay Baldwin will be nothing more than a guinea pig!!!

Go to Google and look up this case. The latest news clipping will be in ctpost.com and nhregister.com

We need letters written ASAP begging them to not allow Jay Baldwin back out on the streets to kill more animals or people. This will be our last chance.
