What Fla. Stat. § 777.03 covers
Chapter 777 of the Florida Statutes — Principal; Accessory; Attempt; Solicitation; Conspiracy. A single statute can span several offences at different degrees, and the figures on this page pool every degree. No single rate here is the rate for any one degree.
How often did this charge end in state prison, by county?
Sorted alphabetically, never worst-first. Every rate below has one denominator and it is stated in the column heading: all charges recorded, not convictions. A rate computed on convictions would be higher, and mixing the two is why the same statute can appear to have different “worst counties” on different pages. Across the 22 counties with enough records to publish a rate, the median is 36.4%.

Source, window and the n≥10 floor
Florida Clerk of Courts public records, under Fla. Stat. § 900.05. Window: 2018–2026. A sentencing rate is published for a county only where that county has at least 10 records for this charge. Percentages are weighted by case count. Where the categories on a county page sum to less than 100%, the remainder is a sentence not recorded in the public extract, and that county page names it.
The statute
Past sentencing patterns do not predict future outcomes in any individual case. CaseParity does not recommend litigation strategy, plea decisions, sentencing positions, or appellate arguments. Sentencing outcomes reflect many factors not captured in structured public records.
CaseParity is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Documented past outcomes, reported in aggregate; not a prediction about any individual case. CaseParity never looks up individual cases.
