Court Watch: Yolo Judge Grants Mental Health Diversion over Prosecution Objections
Yolo County Superior Court Judge Catherine Rayhill granted mental health diversion for an individual facing charges of petty theft and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, suspending criminal proceedings for a one-year period despite prosecution objections. The court’s decision, which initially approved a two-year diversion, was modified to one year and excluded a proposed alcohol restriction, following defense arguments on legal limits and relevance.
