Bexar County defendants given pretrial diversion repeatedly reoffended after landing dismissals, or in some instances, had their cases reopened after failing to complete the program, data analyzed by KSAT Investigates shows.
KSAT Investigates examined nearly 700 felony cases dating back to 2018 in which defendants applied for pretrial diversion, commonly called PTD.
Fourteen defendants completed PTD only to reoffend, while 33 cases were reopened by prosecutors after defendants were unsuccessful in their attempts to complete the program, county records show. “It’s one of the programs that I’m most proud of. We have offered 10 times as many defendants the opportunity to go through this program than the prior administration,” Gonzales said.PTD also has the lowest rate of recidivism compared to all other court outcomes in Bexar County, a DA spokesman told KSAT.“We’re offering a conditional dismissal. That is to say that we may be willing to dismiss a case up front. We’ll give you the time to complete the program.
The off-duty officer is heard on camera saying that Martin had left her passenger in the vehicle and attempted to run into the house before he detained her.A blood draw later revealed her BAC was .163, more than two times the legal limit to drive a vehicle, Texas Department of Public Safety records show.
“Wait till I talk to my grandma. Just wait. Just f***ing wait,” Martin said. “Y’all are going to be so sorry. But just know when I call my grandma and I tell her that you arrested me when I was already f***ing parked, yeah, you’re done.” Warrants for family violence causing bodily injury and theft between $2,500 to $30,000 were issued for Salazar last December after a woman told San Antonio police he punched her in the face and then stole her purse while she was giving Salazar a ride, records show.
