Documented outcomes from past cases — not a prediction about any individual case. CaseParity is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
Small sample (10 cases). The rates shown are based on a modest number of records and carry a wider margin of error than cells with 100+ cases. Interpret with appropriate caution.
How 10 Sarasota County Theft of personal property cases were sentenced
The last row is not an error and it is not hidden. In 5 of these cases the Clerk of Courts record we received did not carry a sentencing category we could classify. Probation and dismissal are two dispositions that can fall into it: Florida’s published extract does not always separate them from other unclassified outcomes.
Adjudication withheld means the court did not enter a conviction. It is a sentencing outcome recorded in the public data; it is not the same as a dismissal.
What this page does not tell you
This free page does not publish sentence length; the full report does.
It does not tell you the individual facts of any one case — charge specifics, plea posture, and criminal history all affect a real sentence and none of them are in this aggregate.
What Fla. Stat. § 509.162 covers
A single statute subsection can carry more than one degree under Florida law, so we do not assert one severity for Fla. Stat. § 509.162 as a whole. If this statute in fact spans more than one degree, the rates above may pool cases across degrees.
How Sarasota County compares with the rest of Florida
Fewer than 30 Florida counties have at least 30 recorded Fla. Stat. § 509.162 cases, so a statewide median and range are not published for this charge.
These are differences in the public record. They are not a ranking of courthouses, a judgment about any county, or a prediction about any individual case. Charge facts, plea posture, and case mix differ between counties and are not captured in aggregate records.
How this was measured
Source: Florida Clerk of Courts records published under Fla. Stat. § 900.05, anonymized, covering cases resolved between 2018 and 2026. Primary charges only — a case is counted once, under the charge the clerk recorded as primary.
Denominator: all 10 resolved Sarasota County cases with this primary charge. Percentages are shares of that number, not of convictions only.
Rate floor: we publish a percentage only where a county has at least 10 recorded cases for the charge. Below that we still publish the case count — we just do not turn it into a rate, because a percentage built on a handful of cases misleads.
The four named categories above cover 50% of these cases. We show the remaining 50% as its own row rather than leaving you to subtract. Coverage varies by charge and county across the site, and it is printed on every page.
