45 cases (2023-2025) · Osceola County courts

Osceola County convicts in 66.7% of stolen property cases—the lowest rate among stolen property counties—with an 11.1% dismissal rate, nearly five times the statewide average of 2.2%. The county also uses diversion in 8.9% of cases, double the statewide average of 3.5%, indicating a substantial proportion of cases resolve outside formal adjudication. This outcome profile reflects either more conservative charging practices or stronger defense performance at trial.

Over half of defendants (55.6%) serve jail time, while only 15.6% receive prison sentences, with the majority receiving probation averaging 827 days. The defendant population relies on public defenders for 22.2% of cases, modest representation overall, yet the combination of high dismissal and diversion rates with very short sentences indicates Osceola County's lenient approach to stolen property charges.
