You were arrested by Officer Cora Bush in Augusta County, and the data shows your case fits into a pattern where convictions are more likely than dismissals. Officer Bush's cases end in conviction 72.2% of the time—notably higher than Virginia's statewide average of 65.3%. Her dismissal rate of 27.8% falls below the state average of 34.7%, meaning cases she arrests for are less likely to get dropped. This puts her in the lower third statewide for dismissal rates, suggesting charges she files tend to stick around longer in the system and result in conviction more often than typical.

The data available doesn't break down specific charge types separately, so all 76 of her cases show a combined 27.8% dismissal rate. This means regardless of your particular charge, you're looking at odds weighted more heavily toward conviction than the average Virginia defendant. The dismissal outcome isn't impossible—it happens in roughly one of every four cases—but it's less common than statewide patterns suggest.

Based on 76 public court records, 2023–2024. Cases heard at Augusta County District Court. Dismissal rate includes cases dropped by the court or prosecutor. Conviction rate includes guilty pleas and trial verdicts. Last updated: December 2024
