Is Bias Intimidation Eligible For Pretrial Intervention (“PTI”)?

Pretrial Intervention, which is also referred to as PTI, allows a first-time offender avoid a criminal conviction. The program typically requires performance of one (1) year of PTI probation and, upon successful completion, the original complaint and/or indictment is dismissed.  An individual is eligible for the program if they are facing a third degree or fourth degree crime. However, it must be kept in mind that eligibility isn’t a guarantee that you will be granted relief in accordance with the program.
