Perjury in Washington County, Florida
25 cases (2023-2025) · Washington County courts
Updated September 2026 · 2023-2025 data
From 2023 to 2025, perjury charges in Washington County resulted in conviction or withheld adjudication in every case—no dismissals or acquittals. The 68.0% guilty rate paired with 32.0% withheld adjudication shows nearly all defendants faced formal findings of guilt. This contrasts sharply with Monroe County's diversion-heavy pattern and suggests little flexibility in Washington County's perjury prosecutions.
Sentenced defendants received an average of 1.7 years confinement split between prison and jail, with probation averaging 3.5 years—substantially longer than in Monroe County. Only 12% had public defenders listed, though the small sample size limits reliability. The uniformity of outcomes suggests minimal room for dismissal or acquittal in Washington County's approach to perjury.
