What you need to know about the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program (ARD).
First time offenders are often confused about the criminal justice system and the long term consequences of a criminal conviction or even an arrest.

Remember that there is a specific point of charge following a criminal trial that allows a fact finder (judge or jury) to find reasonable doubt (not guilty) based on good character alone.
