Summary
Defense counsel said the state offered a retail-theft diversion program to Roque Carlos Toledo Ortega; the court administered an oath to a Spanish interpreter on the record.
The court recorded that the state recently made an offer for defendant Roque Carlos Toledo Ortega to enter a retail-theft diversion program and defense counsel requested time to convey that offer to the client.
The proceedings included an interpreter. The court swore interpreter Pamela Pizzuro, license number LCI2431, to translate from English to Spanish and back on the record before counsel spoke. After interpretation, defense counsel said, “The state has recently made an offer for bridal theft diversion program. I need to convey that offer to the client and then make a decision on whether or not he's going to accept that offer.” A later clarification in the transcript stated that no TRAS is required for this program and that the state had resolved questions about surveillance footage that delayed the offer.
The judge asked the parties to try to complete enrollment before the next setting. No plea or dismissal was entered on the record during the status update.
