Client Charged with Aggravated Assault and Strangulation Accepted Into PTI

State v. RM (2025)

Charged with Aggravated Assault, Strangulation (Domestic Violence), a 2nd-degree, offense.

RM was involved in a domestic dispute, resulting in their arrest for a serious offense.  RM was facing between 5 and 10 years in State Prison subject to the No Early Release Act (must serve 85% of the sentence before parole).  Negotiations with the assistant prosecutor resulted in a plea to a lesser charge and 12 months in the Pre-trial Intervention Program (PTI). 

After six months, Jason A. Volet filed a motion to terminate the program early.  RM was successfully discharged from the program shortly after.
