Q: What is the dismissal rate for Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in Chemung County?

The dismissal rate is 32.4%, based on 48 cases from public court records. This includes judicial dismissals and cases dismissed in the interest of justice.

In Chemung County, criminal possession of stolen property cases end in conviction about two-thirds of the time, slightly below the statewide dismissal rate of 35.8 percent. The county's 32.4 percent dismissal rate is 3.4 percentage points lower than the state average, meaning these charges face somewhat steeper odds of proceeding to conviction locally. Cases resolve quickly—a median of 53 days from filing to disposition. However, the trend over six years shows dismissals declining sharply, from 14.3 percent in 2019 to zero percent in the most recent year, suggesting prosecutors are building stronger cases or defendants face tighter circumstances.

Most defendants charged in Chemung County are released before trial, with over 70 percent receiving release on their own recognizance and only 25 percent having bail set. When convictions occur, fines are the most common outcome at 52.2 percent of sentences, followed by jail time in about a quarter of cases. Roughly one in five cases sees the charge reduced, predominantly to disorderly conduct. These reductions suggest room for negotiation in some cases, though the overall trajectory points toward prosecutions becoming harder to dismiss locally.
