Judge D. Michael Stine retired on January 3 but was back in the Schuylkill County Court last week this time presiding as a senior judge at a hearing of 41 people seeking admission into the Accelerated Rehabilative Disposition (ARD) probation program, which is reserved for first offenders who are charged with a non-violent crime to allow them to clear their name.
