. >> what you're doing on this issue as well as other colleagues, john kroger comes to mind and otherswho i don't see here yet, do i? >> is john here? >> no. we've attacked the issue from many of the same perspectives you have, specifically on the mental health side in the form of a diversion court, a veterans' court in the state of delaware. it's been led by superior court judge, our highest trial court. one of the judges there took it upon himself to work with us but really led the way on creating what is a classic diversion court for veterans. and, um, it's in its infancy. like diversion courts are, many times they're worth while but hard work in standing up. i bet, my gut is it will prove to bear fruit for both the veteran and for the system. um, and so i'm hopeful i'll be able to report more on that at a later time. that's where we've been focusing our energies. >> is that a statewide policy, or is it just in one court? >> we tried it in one county, and it's now expanded to our most populist county, so we're almost statewide, but we can be statewide very quickly, but it's not yet.
