California Sen. Shannon Grove introduced a bill Tuesday that would allow fewer accused criminals to be eligible for mental health diversion under California law. Her bill would also give judges more discretion to deny diversion. During a news conference Tuesday morning, the Republican senator, along with the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office, highlighted several cases in which those charged with crimes had been granted diversion before re-offending with violent consequences. Under current law, the court can grant pretrial diversion if a defendant is diagnosed with a mental disorder and the court finds that the mental disorder was a significant factor in the offense. Crimes that are exempt from the current law include murder, voluntary manslaughter, rape and continuous sexual abuse of a child.
