PTI violation in New Jersey

In New Jersey, pre-trial intervention, or PTI is similar to probation. The primary difference is that with PTI, the person has not been convicted yet whereas in probation, they have. With a violation of probation, the defendant may go to prison so the hearings are more formal. That doesn’t always seem like the case with a violation of PTI. That is probably because there is less of a consequence. The case just picks up from where it left off. However, a violation of PTI in New Jersey should be aggressively fought.
