What happens to a first time offender with no prior criminal history?
Some jurisdictions have pretrial intervention programs for first-time offenders. Usually, these programs require the approval of the alleged victim, prosecutor, judge and sometimes the arresting officer. If you have no prior record and are not charged with a violent crime, ask your attorney about the possibility of entry into this kind of program.
