I am the defendant in this case and I petition the court for deferred prosecution under RCW Chapterch. 10.05 RCW. I make the following statement in support of my petition:

5. If this charge is a violation of Title 46 RCW or similar municipal ordinance, I have not previously been placed on a deferred prosecution for a Title 46 or similar municipal ordinance violation.
6. If this charge is a domestic violence offense, I have not previously been placed on a deferred prosecution for a domestic violence offense, this charge was not originally charged in superior court as a felony offense, and a prior stipulated order of continuance was not previously granted. RCW 10.05.010; RCW 10.05.160. 6.7. I have filed a case history and assessment with this petition as required by RCW
10.05.020.
7.8. I have the following rights: (a) to have a lawyer represent me at all hearings; (b) to have a lawyer appointed at public expense if I cannot afford one; (c) to have a speedy, public jury trial; (d) to appeal any conviction; (e) to remain silent and not testify; (f) to question witnesses who testify against me; (g) to call witnesses to testify for me, at no cost; (h) to be presumed innocent unless the charge(s) against me is (are) proved beyond a reasonable doubt; and (i) to present evidence and a defense.

10.11. If I proceed to trial and I am found guilty, I may be allowed to seek suspension of some or all fines and incarceration if I seek treatment.

11.12. For some crimes, a deferred prosecution will enhance mandatory penalties for subsequent offenses committed within a
seven7-year period. I understand that a deferred prosecution will be a prior offense under RCW

46.20.720(4). I may also be required to pay restitution to victims, pay court costs, and pay probation costs authorized by law. To help ensure continued sobriety and reduce the likelihood of
reoffensere-offense, the court may order reasonable conditions during the period of the deferred prosecution including, but not limited to, attendance at self-help recovery support groups for alcoholism or drugs, complete abstinence from alcohol and all nonprescribed mind-altering drugs, periodic urinalysis or breath analysis, and maintaining law-abiding behavior. Substance use disorder treatment programs shall require a minimum of
two2 self-help recovery groups per week for the duration of the treatment program. The court may terminate the deferred prosecution program if I violate this paragraph.

I understand that I will be required to pay an application fee with my travel or transfer request.
14.17. If I fail or neglect to comply with any part of my treatment plan or with any ignition interlock device requirements, then the court will hold a hearing to determine whether I should be removed from the deferred prosecution program. After the hearing, the court will either order that I continue with treatment or be removed from deferred prosecution and enter judgment. If I am convicted of a similar offense during the deferred prosecution, the court will revoke the deferred prosecution and enter judgment.
15.18.

I certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the state of Washington that I have read the foregoing and agree with all of its provisions and that all statements made are true and correct.
