Perjury in Bradford County, Florida
16 cases (2023-2025) · Bradford County courts
Updated September 2026 · 2023-2025 data
Bradford County's approach to perjury charges shows zero tolerance for dismissal or acquittal. Among the 16 cases, 68.8% resulted in guilty findings and another 31.2% in withheld adjudication, with no cases dismissed and none acquitted. This contrasts sharply with the statewide perjury dismissal rate of 1.7%. The absence of any alternative resolution pathway suggests prosecutors view perjury charges as serious matters warranting either conviction or adjudication withheld, reflecting this circuit's strict prosecution posture on crimes involving witness credibility.
Defendants convicted face severe consequences. The average sentence spans 931 days with a median of 822 days, and 43.8% receive prison sentences while another 31.2% serve jail time. Probation extends to over three years on average. This sentencing profile marks perjury as treated more seriously than many felonies in Florida, with nearly three-quarters of defendants facing some form of confinement.
