The Herricks High School teacher, who allegedly injected a 17-year-old friend of her son with purported Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine, could have her felony case resolved with community service as part of a plea that could leave her with no criminal record. The plea, according to attorney Karen Johnston, who represents the teen's mother, was not what the district attorney's office had initially discussed. Credit: Newsday/John Paraskevas
