You were arrested by Officer Justin R Smith in Northampton County, and you're looking at conviction odds that are slightly steeper than average. Smith's cases end in conviction about 70.5% of the time, compared to Virginia's statewide average of about 65%. His dismissal rate sits at 29.4%, which is below the state average of 34.7%. This means cases he brings are somewhat less likely to get dropped than cases from a typical Virginia officer, though dismissals still happen in roughly one out of three arrests he makes.

The vast majority of Smith's arrests fall into a broad "other" category, making it hard to pinpoint how your specific charge typically fares. Within that large group, the dismissal rate mirrors his overall pattern at 29.3%. Your outcome will depend heavily on the details of your case—the evidence, your record, and the specific charge you're facing—rather than broad trends in Smith's arrest history.
