Virginia Circuit Courts Concluded Case Reports

The data presented in these reports labeled "Guilty Plea," "Transferred to Another Court," "Found Not Guilty," "Convicted of Amended Charge," and "Convicted of Charged Offense," are drawn from cases that were concluded within the fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) of the years presented; in contrast, the data presented on the 'Virginia Circuit Courts Commenced Cases Reports' tab are from cases that were commenced during this same timeframe. Accordingly, the data reflecting concluded cases does not directly correlate with the data showing commenced cases.

Information on the relevant data points in these reports:

• Guilty Plea - this is the number of cases where the defendant pled guilty to the crime they were accused of committing. Please note, the Statewide Case Management System does not capture "plea agreements," but does capture those cases in which the court recorded a guilty plea.
• Transferred to another court - the information within this column includes data from the transferring court. The data from the receiving court, including the case disposition of the transferred case, may be included in other columns found in the table.
• Found Not Guilty - this is the number of cases that have been concluded with a finding of not guilty. These data do not include cases that have other dispositions, such as dismissed, nolle prossed, or mistrial.
• Convicted of Ammended Charge - this is the number of cases where defendants were convicted of amended charges. Please note, the Statewide Case Management System does not capture "Lesser Included Offenses;" however, it does capture cases in which the original charge was amended.
• Convicted on Charged Event - the number of cases in which there was a conviction on all charges cannot be determined using the Statewide Case Management System because the system manages the data by charges and not by defendant. The data included here represent charges for which defendants were found guilty.
