Court Offers Chance To Veterans Who Commit Non-Violent Crimes.
The CBS Evening News (3/1, story 5, 4:30, Couric) reported that the "return home can be a very tough adjustment" for Americans who "have served in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan," and "it's led some to a life of drug abuse and crime."
In Rochester, NY, however, Judge Patricia Marks has "started a special court designed to give veterans who commit non-violent crimes" a chance at probation if they promise to go straight. CBS noted, however, that "in the entire United States, there are only 17 veterans courts" like the one in Rochester.
