Doubt it. IUnless it's not their first offense. Even then, there is plenty of help offered in M County. My sis works for the PTI program (Pre trial intervention). Kids and adults from AP, rumson etc - unemployed, the doctors, teachers, moms and dads , single parents and more. So lets stop thinking about how "unfair" the system is and more so what someone is doing wrong. You can $500k per year and wind up in front of her cause you have a fancy lawyer or $5,000 per year and still see her with a court appoined lawyer, counselor and programs to "help". It's about time to stop blaming the system (of course there are problems) but - there is still that OPPORTUNITY to be a benefit to a community vs benefiting FROM the system. That's why there is jail. Imagine a conversation in my mothers every thrusday night whne my sister talks in general about someones thurd time going through PTI. Yahoo!
