J N Magasano

You were arrested by Officer J N Magasano in Prince William County, and your case has a better-than-average chance of being dismissed. Magasano's cases are dismissed at a 45.2% rate—significantly higher than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%. This puts the officer in the top third of all Virginia officers by dismissal rate. The conviction rate stands at 51.2%, meaning slightly more than half of cases result in conviction. The high dismissal rate suggests either weak cases reaching court or issues with how charges are being brought that courts find insufficient to proceed.

The charges Magasano most commonly files fall into "Other" categories (95 cases with a 40.9% dismissal rate) and Larceny/Theft (25 cases with a 66.7% dismissal rate). If you're charged with theft, you're looking at the higher dismissal rate—roughly two-thirds of those cases don't result in conviction. For other charges, expect closer to 41% of cases to be dismissed. Where your specific charge lands in these categories will matter significantly for what typically happens next in Prince William County courts.
