What is the outcome when a defendant fully complies with deferred disposition terms?

• A. The defendant is placed on probation.
• B. The case is dismissed.
• C. The case goes to trial anyway.
• D. The case is transferred to a different jurisdiction.

Answer: (B)

Deferred disposition lets a defendant avoid a conviction by meeting conditions set by the court. When those terms are fully completed—things like paying fines, performing community service, or attending required programs—the case is dismissed. No guilty verdict is entered, and the charge is essentially resolved without a conviction, though exact record treatments can vary by jurisdiction. This is why the outcome is dismissal after full compliance.
