Lisa Hochstein, Jody Glidden Reach Deal for Charges to Be Dismissed in June

Completion of a felony diversion program would end the case without a conviction.

Overview

  • Defense attorneys said Tuesday the charges will be dismissed in mid-June if Lisa Hochstein and Jody Glidden complete a diversion program.
  • The pair were arrested in April on a single felony count of illegal interception of communications and both pleaded not guilty.
  • An arrest warrant alleged a hidden recorder in Lenny Hochstein’s car captured about 98 audio files, including one placing the device and others with his private talks.
  • Court records show they entered a felony pretrial diversion run by The Advocacy Program, a Florida nonprofit that offers an alternative to prosecution.
  • Successful completion would lead prosecutors to drop the case and could make the arrest record eligible for sealing or expungement under state procedures.
