(1) The charge was dismissed without conditions, or the defendant was found not guilty of the charge. Charges can be dismissed on:
-- The court's own motion (Court)
-- Motion of the prosecution (Prosecution)
-- Motion of the defense (Defense)
-- For other reasons (Other)
(2) Sentence conditions were imposed on the defendant after the charge was adjudicated. This will result when the defendant is convicted, allowed to forfeit bail, granted deferred prosecution, or a stipulated order deferring the outcome of the charge is entered. The categories under this heading are as follows:
-- Guilty/Bail Forfeiture--charges with a finding of guilt, or bail was forfeited as a final disposition. (Bail may be forfeited and a warrant issued if a defendant has failed to appear.)
-- Deferred Prosecution--charges placed in, completed, or revoked from a deferred prosecution program.
-- Prosecutor's Deferral--charges placed in, completed, or revoked from a prosecutor's deferral or diversion program. This occurs when the prosecutor enters into a stipulated agreement with the defendant. (Please see the notes in the next table.)
-- Total Sentences--the total number of charges in the row resolved with sentence conditions imposed.
-- Total/Awaiting--the total number of charges in the row resolved with sentence conditions imposed, or found guilty and awaiting sentencing.
(3) Includes criminal offenses resolved by Bail Forfeiture through 6/30/2012. Beginning 7/1/2012, all criminal offenses require a mandatory court appearance. Criminal offense cases may no longer be resolved by bail forfeiture. (CrRLJ 3.2)

Note: Data in this statewide table are not comparable to those presented in the court-level DUI table. This table uses the number of charges, while figures in the court-level DUI table are based on the number of cases. In addition, these four reports on charges disposed do not include data from Seattle Municipal Court.
