Case Outcomes — General District Court
The outcome mix for these 908 proceedings is above, using all cases as the denominator. A dismissal rate is not published for a revocation docket — its characteristic outcome, revocation, is neither a dismissal nor a new conviction, so a rate computed over dismissals and convictions alone would describe only a small minority of these cases.
