The county's dismissal rate sits 2.6 percentage points above the state average, but a significant downward trend tells a different story: dismissals have dropped from 34.5% in 2019 to 18.2% in 2024, suggesting prosecutors have strengthened their cases or plea pressures have intensified over this five-year period. No acquittals were recorded, meaning cases either end in dismissal or conviction.

Pretrial conditions vary considerably for robbery defendants. Just over 28% are released on their own recognizance, while nearly half face bail with a median amount of $10,000. The remaining 19.8% are remanded without bail. Among those convicted, outcomes concentrate heavily in prison sentences—35% receive incarceration in state facilities. However, two-thirds of robbery charges get reduced before trial, predominantly to Petit Larceny (43.3% of reductions) or Disorderly Conduct (35.8%), which substantially alters potential sentencing exposure. Cases take a median of 251 days to resolve.
