Merideth Graves takes deal in New York

Manhattan prosecutors this morning dropped the felony gun possession charges Meredith Graves had originally been slammed with -- charges carrying a mandatory minimum of 3 1/2 years prison.

Graves pleaded guilty instead to a misdemeanor weapons possession charge, a move that she hopes will save both her gun license and pending medical license, said her lawyer, Daniel Horwitz.

This deal was also offered to the Marine that did the same thing at the Empire State Building, he turned down the offer and is going to fight the law.

WOW. He's a bold one. I would have taken the deal.

I read someplace else that the deal offered him was different, he actually was offered something much stricter.  Since that time it sounds like he has a deal that has a fine and community service.
