    Or;

    The Pretrial Intervention Program (PTI) provides defendants, generally first-time offenders, with opportunities for alternatives to the traditional criminal justice process of ordinary prosecution. PTI seeks to render early rehabilitative services, when such services can reasonably be expected to deter future criminal behavior. The PTI program is based on a rehabilitative model that recognizes that there may be an apparent causal connection between the offense charged and the rehabilitative needs of a defendant. Further, the rehabilitative model emphasizes that social, cultural, and economic conditions often result in a defendant's decision to commit crime.

    Age - PTI is designed for adults.

    Residence - PTI is designed for New Jersey residents, but others may apply.

    Jurisdiction - Only defendants charged with criminal or penal offenses in New Jersey criminal or municipal courts.

    Minor Violations - Not eligible if the likely result would be a suspended sentence without probation or a fine.

    Prior Record of Convictions - PTI generally excludes defendants who have been previously convicted.

    Parolees and Probationers - Generally excluded without prosecutor's consent and considered only after consultation with parole and probation departments.

    Defendants Previously Diverted - excludes defendants who have previously been granted a diversionary program or conditional discharge

    properly he could be observing some intense time im no longer particularly particular how long yet failure to be at a courtroom listening to is a intense element. And the bail could take place yet its going to be far greater high priced. He could serve 5-12 years for the drug possesion two times and possesion with the reason to sell is far intense which he could serve substantial time for that. he gets heated for the weapon fee yet that would basically disappear because of the fact from what you suggested he develop into in for drug possesion no longer assult. yet it somewhat is definitely unfortunant desire each and every thing is going ok...
