Other in Duval County, Florida

In Duval County, defendants charged with "Other" offenses face markedly different outcomes than their statewide counterparts. The dismissal rate here is just 0.3 percent, nearly nine percentage points below the statewide average of 8.6 percent, suggesting these charges move through prosecution with minimal pretrial case attrition. The guilty rate of 22.2 percent paired with an adjudication withheld rate of 8.3 percent indicates that roughly 30 percent of defendants resolve cases through conviction or conviction-equivalent findings. Notably, the withheld adjudication rate in Duval is substantially lower than Florida's statewide average of 18.8 percent, meaning judges here are less likely to shield defendants from formal conviction records. Diversion programs are also underutilized locally at 0.5 percent compared to the statewide rate of 8.8 percent.

Defendants who receive sentences face significant confinement exposure. Prison incarceration occurs in 10.4 percent of cases while jail confinement occurs in 27.8 percent, meaning over one-third of sentenced defendants lose freedom. The median sentence duration is one year, though average sentences extend to 787 days, with probation averaging nearly two years. Over half of defendants are represented by public defenders (37.7 percent) or private counsel (11.8 percent), reflecting the charges' complexity and financial barriers defendants encounter.
