You were arrested by C Laing in Fairfax County, and the data shows an unusual pattern: nearly 75% of cases this officer files get dismissed. That's more than double the statewide dismissal average of 35%. This officer ranks in the 92nd percentile for dismissals, meaning very few officers in Virginia have higher dismissal rates. The 25% conviction rate reflects how many cases actually result in guilty verdicts. This pattern suggests either the charges filed tend not to hold up in court or the cases lack the evidence prosecutors need to proceed.
Your specific outcome depends on what you were charged with. Larceny and trespassing cases show the highest dismissal rates here at 81% and 80% respectively, while drug possession charges have a notably lower dismissal rate of 59%. If your charge falls under "Other," you're looking at a 66% dismissal rate. The variation across charge types matters: some charges this officer files simply don't survive judicial review as often as others.
