Jamie believed she could pay the fees initially but then was unable to pay. The prosecutor sought to withdraw the pretrial diversion agreement on the basis of her inability to pay the fees. Jamie requested the trial judge to reinstate her in the program. The judge agreed that Jamie believed she could pay the fees initially.
