These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“ARD is a pretrial disposition of certain cases in which the attorney for the Commonwealth agrees to suspend prosecution for an agreed upon period of time in exchange for the defendant’s successful participation in a rehabilitation program, the content of which is to be determined by the court and applicable statutes. Commonwealth v. Lutz, 508 Pa. 297 , 495 A.2d 928, 931 (1985). The impetus behind the creation of ARD was and remains. a belief that some “cases which are relatively minor or which involve social or behavioral problems ... can best be solved by programs and treatment rather than by punishment.” Comment to Pa.R.Crim.P. 185. n. 4; See also Lutz, at 981.”
