DATA NOTICE: Every case on this site represents a pretrial release failure — a defendant who was released before trial and then failed to appear in court, was arrested for a new crime, or had their release revoked. These numbers do not reflect a judge's total caseload or overall record. A judge with more releases may naturally appear more often in this data. All data is sourced from public records under Florida Statute §907.043 (Citizens' Right-to-Know Act). CourtWatch.us presents factual public data only and does not allege misconduct by any individual. Our mission is transparency — not punishment.
You're seeing the beta version of our site. We're a small, citizen-built team and we wanted to get this into the public's hands as quickly as possible to start holding judges accountable.
Right now we cover Orange County, FL with 2024 data. We're actively expanding to all 67 Florida counties and eventually every state in the country. More data is coming — and fast.
Search real court records to see which judges presided over cases where defendants failed to appear, were rearrested, or had pretrial release revoked. All data sourced from public records.
01
When someone is arrested, a judge decides whether to release them before trial.
02
Florida law requires counties to publicly report every case where that release failed — the person missed court, got rearrested, or had their release revoked.
03
We collect those public records and show you exactly which judges presided over those cases — so you can see the data for yourself.
