In Monroe County, criminal possession of stolen property charges are dismissed at a substantially higher rate than the statewide average. Over the past six years, the dismissal rate has climbed from 57.1% to 65.2%, now sitting at 60.4% compared to the statewide dismissal rate of 35.8%—a gap of nearly 25 percentage points.
