What this record cannot show
This page is built from what court clerks recorded in cases that name D W Longoria as the charging officer in Richmond City. Some of what you may want to know is not in that record.
- The officer’s conduct. A dismissal is not a finding about the officer. Cases end because a witness does not appear, evidence is challenged, a plea is reached on another charge, or the prosecutor chooses not to proceed. The record shows the outcome, not the reason.
- Who else worked the case. Each case names one charging officer. Partners, supervisors, and other officers involved are not recorded, and neither is the agency’s own account of the arrest.
- Complaints, discipline, or body-camera footage. None of that is in court records. This page is case outcomes only.
- Whether two names are one person. Officer names are matched within Richmond City as the clerk entered them. Two officers who share a name in the same court can be combined, and one officer entered two ways can be split. Report either and we will check.
- The judge and the prosecutor. Virginia’s court records do not carry the judge’s name, and they name the prosecutor’s office rather than the individual prosecutor.
- Cases still open. Rates here count only the 219 cases that reached a dismissal, plea, verdict, or acquittal. The other 64 cases filed in 2025 were still pending or otherwise unresolved when the record was read, and they are in none of the rates.
- Cases filed before 2025. This page covers cases filed in 2025. A case filed in 2024 and decided in 2025 is not here.
- Whether the person charged had a lawyer. The court’s counsel field is not reliable enough to publish, so this page does not say who was represented, or whether counsel was hired or appointed.
- Guilty plea or trial in General District Court. District court records do not say whether a conviction came by plea or after a trial. Only Circuit Court records do, so no plea or trial rate appears here.
- What the 2026 half-year can show. The January to June 2026 figures are read at June 30 and count a case as resolved only if its final hearing was held by that date; 115 of 214 were still open. No year-over-year change is claimed from them.
Every figure on this page comes from Virginia’s public court records as read on August 24, 2026. Coverage notes and definitions are in the methodology. If something here is wrong, tell us and we will check the record.
