Can I Obtain Pretrial Intervention (“PTI”) For A Receiving Stolen Property Charge?

New Jersey has a diversionary program that allows an individual to avoid a criminal conviction for fourth, third or even second degree crimes such as receiving stolen property. The program is referred to as Pretrial Intervention or PTI. An individual is eligible for PTI if they have never taken PTI, conditional discharge or conditional dismissal, previously. A second degree crime can only be resolved through Pretrial Intervention if the prosecutor consents to admission since offenses falling within this grade are typically ineligible.
