J R Cornelius

You were arrested by Officer J R Cornelius in Lynchburg, an independent city with its own court system separate from surrounding counties. Overall, 37% of cases this officer brings are dismissed and 59.6% result in conviction—slightly better dismissal rates than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%. This puts Cornelius near the middle of officers statewide in terms of case outcomes, suggesting his arrests are neither unusually strong nor weak compared to peers. Your case's outcome will depend heavily on what you were charged with, which varies dramatically across different offense types.

The bulk of Cornelius's arrests—139 cases—fall under "Other" charges with a 39.3% dismissal rate. Drug Possession cases have a notably higher dismissal rate at 55.6%, meaning almost half don't result in conviction. However, if you were charged with Public Intoxication, none of his cases in that category were dismissed, while Weapons Offense charges were all dismissed. Where your charge falls in this breakdown matters significantly for understanding what typically happens in similar cases from this officer.
