No disposition recorded (9,279)

No disposition is recorded for these charges. Most are open or inactive cases; the rest have only a plea or status entry that does not establish how the charge ended.

Outcomes are the latest recorded disposition of the listed charge, not predictions. Where a county records a guilty or nolo contendere plea as the disposition, it is counted as a conviction; a not-guilty plea alone is not counted as an outcome. Probation changes and other statuses remain separate when they do not establish the underlying outcome. A dismissal here applies to this charge, not to other charges in the same case. Percentages use all 130,560 records and may not add to 100% because of rounding.
