How 128 St. Lucie County Florida Communications Fraud Act cases were sentenced
The last row is not an error and it is not hidden. In 29 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. § 817.034 covers
A single statute subsection can carry more than one degree under Florida law, so we do not assert one severity for Fla. Stat. § 817.034 as a whole. If this statute in fact spans more than one degree, the rates above may pool cases across degrees.

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 128 resolved St. Lucie 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 77.3% of these cases. We show the remaining 22.7% 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.
