You were arrested by Officer Stanley Liss in Hopewell, and the data shows a starkly different outcome pattern than what happens statewide. Your case has an 8% chance of dismissal—that's roughly one-quarter the Virginia average of 35%. With a 92% conviction rate, Liss's arrests move through the system to guilty verdicts far more consistently than other officers. He ranks in the bottom 4th percentile statewide, meaning almost every other officer in Virginia has higher dismissal rates. This gap suggests his arrests tend to survive legal scrutiny at much higher rates than typical.

The data lumps your charge into a broad "Other" category covering 1,889 cases, so it's difficult to see precise patterns by offense type. The 8% dismissal rate applies across whatever you were charged with in this dataset. Without knowing your specific charge, you can't tell from this data alone whether cases like yours typically get dismissed more or less often than the "Other" category average. The overwhelming volume in that category means your particular charge type is likely buried within a much larger group.
