Chris was placed into Therapeutic Docket program for mall trespass case

[The American Hedgehog]

In this tweet, Chris mentions that he's on the Therapeutic Docket.

More info: http://www.oar-jacc.org/therapeutic-docket.html

The Therapeutic Docket is a post plea docket serving Albemarle and Charlottesville. It targets defendants who have been diagnosed with serious and persistent mental illness.

Once a defendant successfully completes the requirements of the Therapeutic Docket, the Court may impose a suspended fine or suspended jail sentence if a conviction had been entered earlier or, in the appropriate case, dismiss the charge.

edit: I originally linked to a pdf from Roanoke county by mistake. A difference is that Roanoke specifies graduates from the program receive a red rose and handshake from a judge, and Charlottesville doesn't mention the details of its graduation ceremony.

So the Virginia courts consider that Chris has a serious mental illness? Good

I also see that the list of sanctions could include community service. Please let them make Chris pick up trash or help with the slow in the minds.

Edit: he can get gift cards if he behaves? I hope its not to one of the many places he was banned.

Get Out of Jail Free "serious mental illness edition" card? And a handshake from the judge!

What does a therapeutic docket entail, specifically?

There's an article about it here: https://www.dailyprogress.com/news/...cle_b0a6cd50-620c-11e8-9741-fb5e935dcfd0.html

Every two weeks, participants will go in front of Downer to discuss their progress and make sure they’re on track with treatment. In between those court appearances, individuals will attend meetings with supervisors, go to counseling or other treatment sessions and consistently follow any medication plans. For most of these participants, they need help simply organizing their lives and following through on treatment plans.

WOW!!! A red rose and a handshake from the Judge! What more could Chris ask for!? How can I get into this program? Pfft...this will do nothing to help Chris

Wait, the new shitty winnie the pooh movie ends with christopher going to join the reitch to gas the jews?
Did sam raimi direct this film?

Get Out of Jail Free "serious mental illness edition" card? And a handshake from the judge!

Judge: "Lemme me get my hand sanitizer first"

 

[Rokko]

So if I read it right, Chris has to agree to partipate? I eagerly await Chris decision on that.
What if he doesnt want to participate?

Edit: Also "No new criminal convictions" as requirement...

 

[Raiken]

This explains the outburst he had about that he is not insane.

 

[Mason Verger]

Haha oh Jesus. He gets gifts for breaking the law. Chris wins. He has fucking powers. Where do I sign up for ponyland?

 

[Apteryx Owenii]

Sounds like about what was predicted, minus the nutcase portion.

Chris gets to break the law and watch movies as punishment. Your tax dollars at work, Virginians!

 

[Mason Verger]

Hey maybe this more focused therapy might help instead of just jerking him off once a week.

 

[RG 448]

he belongs in genpop with the other dangerous criminals

 

[John Redcorn]

Well color me impressed. This sounds like a genuinely progressive program that will be effective at assisting mentally-disabled adults readjust their behavior towards societal norms, as well as deter them from repeat offenses through reasonable punishment. Stay classy, Virginia.

Too bad that Chris will probably learn nothing from the experience.

I wonder what he did that the court concluded he has a serious mental illness.

ETA: So reading the article, the referral could come from a number of sources : His attorney, the police, and Region Ten, among others. Maybe it's possible he's told someone (likely his therapist at R10) about the Idea Guy debacle?

The court probably knows how to use google.

An interesting implication here is that the choice was either this or jail time, meaning he isn't going to skate with fines anymore and he's DAMN lucky that this was introduced this year.

It also sounds like there's constant reports back to the judge and Chris isn't going to be able to sleep through this. Chris might actually be able to get some movement on the Wise and Boyde thing, if he brings up that he only trespassed because he was being extorted into buying gifts for them.

This might be interesting.
