Is A Conspiracy Charge Eligible For Pretrial Intervention (“PTI”)?

Eligibility for PTI depends on the grade of the conspiracy offense charged. Pretrial Intervention, which is also referred to as PTI, is a program designed to allow a first-time offender to avoid a criminal conviction for a third degree or second degree crime. An individual is ineligible for the program if they are facing a second degree crime or first degree crime. A defendant can only secure PTI with prosecutor consent when these higher grades of offense are involved.
