The "deferred prosecution" is probably similar to the MA "Continuance without a finding" and NY "Adjournment contemplating dismissal". The charges remain pending for a certain period of time (one year was mentioned in this case), and then are dropped if the subject does not get into any more trouble with the system. Under such an arrangement, the person is free and there is no bail required, but the individual technically has charges pending.
I suspect that the PA gun license prohibition is a result of the pending felony charges that will remain in place. She will probably be eligible to reapply once her term in the "deferred prosecution" program has concluded.
I hope so.
The animals run amok in NJ and they will take the time to bust this poor gals ass.
F##k NJ.
I also hope she's smart enough never to set foot in that crap hole again.
Years ago , two co-workers of mine flew into NJ on a puddle jumper for a conference.
They ended up in some little dump of an airport that was basicly a couple of sheds.
No one worked there and there was just a payphone with no phone book.
So they called the PD to get the number for a cab.
The cop who answered the phone told them whatever you do don't call a cab , you'll end up dead in some alley.
Apparently the cabbies who pick out of towner's there take them out somewhere where a bunch of their buddies are waiting to rob and kill them.
Classy place , NJ.
