Grand Larceny defendants in Chemung County face significantly lower dismissal rates than the statewide average. With a 12.2% dismissal rate compared to 18.5% statewide, Chemung County is 6.3 percentage points below the state norm. The 86.3% conviction rate is correspondingly high, and the trend is moving in the prosecution's favor—dismissals have declined from 21.4% in 2019 to 12.9% in 2024. This suggests the county's approach to these cases has become more prosecutorial over time, resulting in stronger conviction outcomes than most of the state.
Most defendants charged with Grand Larceny in Chemung County avoid pretrial detention, with 74.7% released on their own recognizance. When bail is set, the median amount is $550. If convicted, probation is the most common sentence at 35.6%, followed by fines at 20.3% and jail time at 13.6%. Notably, nearly two-thirds of cases result in charge reductions, most often to Petit Larceny. This pattern suggests that while convictions are frequent, many cases are resolved at a lower charge level, which typically carries lesser penalties than the original Grand Larceny charge.
