Robbery cases in Broome County are dismissed at a significantly higher rate than statewide patterns, with 25.5% of cases dismissed compared to the statewide average of 21.5%. The 69% conviction rate indicates that when cases proceed, most result in guilty verdicts, though zero acquittals across 170 cases is notably unusual. Dismissal rates have trended upward over the past five years, rising from 17.6% in 2019 to 33.3% in 2024, suggesting changing prosecution or evidentiary dynamics in how robbery charges are handled locally.

Pretrial outcomes reflect substantial restrictions on defendants' freedom before trial. Nearly 62% are remanded without bail, while only 22% are released on their own recognizance; median bail when set is $1,000. Among convicted defendants, prison sentences dominate outcomes at 52%, followed by jail at 16% and probation at 11%. Notably, 43% of robbery charges are reduced to lesser offenses, predominantly to petit larceny (58.6% of reductions) or assault (24.1%), indicating that about four in ten defendants resolve cases at reduced charge levels rather than the original robbery count.
