This dataset contains information on SFDA trial outcomes since 2014. It includes information on all jury trials except for cases that have been sealed or expunged due to record clearance protocols.

Jury trials are resource-intensive, and often the most public part of the criminal process. The vast majority of cases do not go to trial and resolve after plea negotiations between the prosecutor and the defense attorney. If the case cannot be resolved through plea negotiations, it may go to trial before a judge or a jury. A jury is made up of 12 people from the community, and often a few alternate jurors. Most trials are jury trials, and both the prosecution and the defense will have an opportunity to excuse some jurors before a final jury is sworn. The selected jury will hear the evidence and will be tasked with determining whether the charges have been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

More information about the trial process and this dataset can be found under the Trials tab on the DA Stat page.

At the conclusion of a trial, relevant data is manually entered into the District Attorney Office's case management system. Trial data reports are pulled from this system on a semi-regular basis, cleaned, anonymized, and added to Open Data.

C. UPDATE PROCESS
District Attorney's Office strive to update this dataset every month. However, the creation of this dataset requires a manual pull from the Office's case management system and is dependent on staff availability. The Open Data portal automation process will run the 1st of every month regardless of if an update to this dataset has been made.
