1. “The State's position is that only when the State proposes drug court probation is it an alternative. We have held that the statute is properly read to provide that the district attorney is one of those who may propose probation. If the legislature had intended for the district attorney to be the only source of eligibility for the drug program, the statute would have been worded to that effect. Furthermore, a reading of the entire statute simply does not support the State's position, especially section (B)(11)(a) which states that the judge makes the final determination as to eligibility for probation.”
