[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1383251, member: 14668"] The prosecutor could have charged Ray Rice with felony assault, but he chose not to. He also could have charged Ms. Allen with a lesser offense...as he did with Rice...so that she too could have gotten PTI. Or...he could have dropped the charges altogether. But he chose not to. I totally agree with you that mandatory minimum sentences are BS. The prosecution can pretty much charge the defendant with whatever they want, and by holding the hammer of a mandatory sentence over their head they can bully the defendant into accepting a plea bargain. In this case however, the underlying problem is New Jersey's irrational and oppressive gun laws, combined with a prosecutor and a judge who give domestic violence a pass while persecuting a law-abiding woman for crossing a state line.
