See OCGA § 15-18-80 (b) (“It shall be the purpose of such a program to provide an alternative to prosecuting offenders in the criminal justice system.” (emphasis supplied)). 28 Cf. Commonwealth v. McSorley, 485 A2d 15, 19 (Pa. Super. Ct. 1984) (“In placing a defendant into a diversion program, the state covenants to dismiss the charges once the defendant satisfies the conditions of the program. Unless the defendant violates one of those conditions, the state cannot prosecute him. Just as the terms of a plea bargaining arrangement are binding on the state, so must the terms of a diversion agreement bind the state. To hold otherwise, would create a disincentive for defendants to enter diversion programs.” (citation omitted)); State v. Urvan, 446 NE2d 1161, 1166-67 (IV) (Ohio App. 1982) (<HOLDING>). But see Evans v. State, 293 Ga. App. 371, 373
