Re: Pre Trial Intervention in Pa.

A prior DUI conviction in Virginia would probably make the defendant ineligible for the kind of deferred diposition you've apparently referenced(which in the Commonwealth is called an SIS or Suspended Imposition of Sentence).

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, however, may have different rules and

a criminal law practitioner from that state should answer this question.
