In Franklin County, burglary cases have an exceptionally high conviction rate at 100 percent, with no dismissals or acquittals among 76 cases. This stands in sharp contrast to the statewide dismissal rate of 13.6 percent, indicating that burglary charges in this county are prosecuted with unusual severity and succeed at trial nearly every time. The median time from charge to case resolution is 220 days. Over the five-year period tracked, dismissal rates have remained at zero, showing a consistent pattern rather than a recent shift.

Despite the high conviction rate, nearly 40 percent of burglary charges are reduced before trial, most commonly to petit larceny or criminal trespass. When convictions do occur, incarceration is the dominant outcome: 47 percent of convicted defendants receive prison sentences, 24.2 percent receive jail time, and only 18.2 percent are sentenced to probation alone. At the pretrial stage, about a third of defendants are released on recognizance, while 27 percent have bail set and 21.6 percent are remanded without release.
