My question involves criminal law for the state of: Fl

I am sorry for starting a new thread, but I made a mistake in mine yesterday.

As I said, i went to court and was offered a pre-trial intervention program...it's actually called a misdemenor intervention program. I am completely confused as to what actually happened. When I was there, I was watched a video and was told that this was not a plea, I was not being convicted, and that when i was done, it would dismissed and not on my record. So, by my understanding, I was not found guilty, i did not admit guilt or accept a plea, and my charges will be dropped.

Now, I am being told that ANY form of PTI or MIP is a plea bargin and that with a plea bargin is an admission of guilt. Also, that the charges won't be dropped, it will show as a with held adjudication for 5 years until i get it expunged. I thought that was for PTI. What are the differences between the two programs?

Please, will someone explain to me. All I need to know is the differance between the two programs, will this show on my record, and did i in some way admit guilt? If I did admit guilt in some way....can I change what i did? It was my understanding that this was the same as being found not guilty. I was only going to accept being found not guilty. I am very confused.
