Robbery in Orange County, Florida
166 cases (2025) · Orange County courts
Updated July 2026 · 2025 data
In 2025, 166 robbery cases in Orange County produced markedly different outcomes from most Florida counties. The 66.9% guilty rate was considerably lower than statewide peers, and the 20.5% adjudication withheld rate—nearly triple the 8.0% statewide average—meant many defendants avoided formal convictions. The 2.4% dismissal rate slightly exceeded the 1.7% statewide average. Orange County's prosecution approach appeared more outcome-flexible than neighboring circuits.
Sentences in Orange County reflected this moderation: average prison terms around 4 years with a median near 20 months, substantially shorter than most Florida robbery cases. Prison confinement affected 45.8% of convictions; jail affected 33.7%, indicating mixed custody outcomes. Public defenders represented 51.2% of defendants compared to 24.7% with private counsel. Probation averaged 3.2 years. Fines were minimal at $250 average.
