Other in Duval County, Florida
4,405 cases (2025) · Duval County courts
Updated July 2026 · 2025 data
In 2025, Duval County processed 4,405 miscellaneous offense cases—the largest caseload measured. The outcome distribution is unusual: only 22.2% guilty, 8.5% adjudication withheld, 0.7% diversion, and 0.6% dismissal. These percentages sum to far less than 100%, suggesting the remaining cases resolved through other mechanisms not captured in these categories, such as pending cases or deferred adjudication. The near-absence of diversion (0.7% vs. 8.5% statewide) is striking.
When sentences were imposed, they averaged 697 days with median of one year. Probation averaged 830 days. Confinement was moderate: 10.4% to prison, 34.1% to jail. Fines averaged $487. The data pattern suggests Duval County processes cases through disposition methods not fully reflected in these categories, creating an unexplained outcome profile that differs markedly from peer counties.
Before Court: State Attorney Decisions
Not every Other charge in Duval County makes it in front of a judge. Of 8,880 prosecutor decisions on Other charges (2023-2025), the State Attorney declined to file, dropped, or dismissed 25.2% — below the 43.1% statewide rate. These decisions happen early in a case, before trial.

Rates are per charge, not per defendant — a dropped charge often reflects a plea agreement on another charge in the same case, not the case going away. Percentages are of charges receiving a prosecution decision; transfers between courts are excluded. Court outcome data on this page is a separate dataset covering cases that reached disposition.
