holding that deterrence was not a valid basis to support the prosecutor’s denial of pretrial diversion because, inter alia, perjury is not statutorily excluded from consideration for pretrial diversion

finding the need for deterrence improperly applied in case where prosecutor failed to elucidate the factual basis and rationale for the need to deter crimes of perjury
“[O]ff-duty acts that are unrelated to this defendant’s duties of public employment are not a proper basis for imposing a higher standard of conduct and thereby justifying a denial of pretrial diversion.”
