It's important to keep in mind too that people come into the drug treatment court because they are already in the criminal court system. So it's not enough to say that this person who worked for the cabinet would have a drug problem and use public funds and so on. But if he were charged criminally with something arising out of that and then brought before the criminal courts, then we'd have a look at the nature of the charge, the nature of the addiction, whether there were some other reasons for screening the person in or out, and make a decision from there.
