J R Burton

You were arrested by Officer Burton in Henrico County, and here's what his track record shows. Out of 65 cases he's filed, about 62% result in convictions while 38% are dismissed. That dismissal rate is slightly higher than the Virginia statewide average of 35%, which suggests cases he brings have a somewhat better chance of being dismissed than typical. He's roughly middle-of-the-road compared to other officers—not known for particularly strong cases, but not weaker either.

Most of Burton's arrests are for larceny and theft, which make up nearly half his cases. If that's your charge, you're looking at a 39% dismissal rate on his cases—close to his overall average. The remaining charges he files dismiss at a lower rate of 25%, suggesting those cases tend to hold up better in court. Understanding where your specific charge falls in his pattern can help you assess what happens next, but the key takeaway is that Burton's cases have a reasonable chance of dismissal compared to statewide norms.
