The data available groups all of Shook's charges together as "Other," so specific dismissal rates by charge type aren't broken out here. This means we can't tell you whether your particular charge dismisses more or less frequently than his overall pattern. What we know is the broad outcome: more than one-third of his arrests get dismissed, but the majority lead to conviction. Your actual outcome will depend heavily on the specific charges, evidence, and details of your case.
