What's a pretrial intervention program?

Is that a, you're a big football player, so you get the easy way out or we'll accomodate your schedule program?

I wonder who will stop coaching at their school first Fullmer or Bowden. I say Bowden just cause hes old and will probably die first.

with misdemeanor resisting arrest without violence
