Home Invasion 1st Degree is a 20 year and/or $5,000 fine felony. It is a Class B felony that takes very few prior record or offense points in the sentencing guidelines to put the defendant in a "prison sentence" range. It is very serious. Add to that the fact that additional weapon-related charges could be authorized (Larceny of a Firearm, Felony Firearm, etc.), and you're talking about very very serious charges and consequences. I can't vouch for what a particular judge might do in this case, but very few prosecutors, in my personal opinion, would agree to a diversion/"pretrial intervention" resolution when homes are being broken into and guns are being stolen ... especially if the gun cannot be returned to the victim (meaning that it is out on the streets, possibly being used in other crimes). The very first thing the defendant needs to do to start the process to repair the damage he's done is to the find that gun and get it to his attorney, to police, to the victim, etc.
