This is actually the kind of resolution I would expect in this case, and I don't see any problem with it. It is different from Jussie's case in that there is an actual agreement in which the defendant takes responsibility, pays restitution and has a pretty good community service requirement. If she fails to comply with any of the terms of her deal, the charges can be reinstated.

This is very different from the deal given to Jussie, who did not have to admit responsibility, did not have to pay restitution and did not have to do any real community service. In addition, there was no nol prosse agreement, just a blanket dropping of charges.
