The difference between felony and misdemeanor probation is the felony is when a person is sentence to a jail term, but it can be served out of jail. The misdemeanor probation is not given jail time. They serve a probation period.
By statute: For a misdemeanor you can be sentenced up to a one year in jail, for a felony you can be sentenced to more than one year and one day in prison.
Only ONE? Probably a misdemeanor. 1-99 misdemeanor. 100+ Felony (minimum 5 years jail time)
The main difference between a misdemeanor DUI and a felony DUI is the severity of the offense. A misdemeanor DUI typically involves first or second time offenses with no significant aggravating factors, while a felony DUI usually involves multiple DUI convictions, serious injury or death caused by driving under the influence, or other aggravating circumstances that elevate the offense to a felony level. Felony DUIs carry harsher penalties, including longer jail time and higher fines.
My understanding is that it depends on whether it is filed as a felony or misdemeanor. The felony can carry up to 3 years in state prison. A misdemeanor up to a year in the county jail.
The difference between felony and misdemeanor for theft/shoplifting varies state to state and is usually at a set dollar amount for the value of the property. Theft is punishable by jail time.
A felony is a more serious crime. Conviction of a felony will get you more time in jail and it will have an effect on your civil rights.
The jail time for domestic violence depends on if the charge is a misdemeanor or a felony. If it is a misdemeanor jail time can be up to a year and a fine of up to $5,000. For a felony jail time can be anywhere from 3 months to three years with a fine of up to $10,000.
Depends on what they are. In some states, multiple counts of DUI are a felony.... slight difference between that and, say, capital murder.
I have applied for a job that checks your background for felony and misdemeanor charges. I recently found that I have a contempt of court fine for a seat belt ticket in NJ. Is this a misdemeanor?
A misdemeanor is a lesser crime than a felony. Felonies are series crimes that carry serious penalties. Misdemeanors are minor crimes, usually punished with fines.
A misdemeanor is a crime that the state legislature has decreed the punishment for as no more than one year in jail. A felony is a crime that the punishment for is set at more than one year in prison.
