Q: I was recently charged with the bad check statute 2C: 21-5 in Glassboro NJ. What are the likely outcomes? First offense.
I am 21 years old graduating with a 3.8 gpa from Rowan University with a very bright future. I have no prior charges and plenty of professional contacts that can vouge for my character. It would fall under a 3rd degree bad check offense. How likey is this case dismissed? PTI?
A: More information is needed but dismissals are rare in Superior Court. With a good lawyer you up your chances but still you need some luck and the right facts.
A:
It would be rare that the case is dismissed in superior court. The facts of your case will be a heavy factor in whether you are granted PTI. Depending on whether you have had your first appearance the charges may have been downgraded to a dp offense.
