74 cases · Chenango County Courts · DCJS Data
In Chenango County, escape and bail jumping charges result in conviction in roughly 86 percent of cases, substantially higher than the statewide dismissal rate of 23 percent. Chenango's 14 percent dismissal rate runs nearly 9 percentage points below the statewide average, suggesting prosecutors in this county pursue these charges more aggressively or that local conditions make dismissals less likely. Over the past six years, dismissals have declined sharply—from 25 percent in 2019 to just 6.7 percent in 2024—indicating a strengthening pattern of convictions despite the modest caseload of 74 total cases.
Defendants in Chenango County face modest pretrial detention, with 56 percent released on their own recognizance and only 1.4 percent remanded without bail. Among those convicted, sentencing emphasizes financial penalties rather than incarceration: nearly half receive fines, while about a quarter face jail time. Roughly a quarter of charges are reduced before conviction, most commonly to disorderly conduct or harassment, though these reductions represent a secondary path. The median time from charge to disposition is 98 days, indicating relatively swift case resolution.
