Adjournment-pending-dismissal as I understand it is an opportunity for the defendant to spend six months without criminal offense and in exchange have the whole matter dropped and sealed. I have handled minors in Pennsylvania who have gotten the same treatment--successfully.

The court is saying: put this behind you and it is forgotten.

Thanks for lending your voice of experience.

So, what do you make of the DA firing Cynthia Preiser for her work?

Nineteen months and it remains "in contemplation of dismissal"?

Ah yes put this behind us, that is fine and dandy for "youthful offenders" but for a two time 40 year old catch like Ritter, I think he should have gotten the message the first time and didn't thus IMO he should have been prosecuted. I can only guess how many times he got away with it and didn't get caught....why the PD didn't search his computer for more evidence, I don't know..I guarantee it would happen in other jurisdictions...was a warrant presented to the ADA for her blessings and she declined? Interesting...


On one hand I would like to see the truth come out and if there are more victims they come forward, but for their sake they might be better off being quiet...Imagine getting your face on TV after luring minors, almost as bad as being on TV when your pregnant wife disappears and you have a girlfriend..oops I forgot SP at least tried to stay out of the limelight.
