Notations and Explanations have been provided in bold.
Crimes are divided by the seriousness of of the offense into the following categories. A. Felonies B. Misdemeanors C. Infractions
These categories have differing levels of severity and are subdivided.
In general, a felony is a crime that is punishable by a sentence of more than 365 days of incarceration all the way up to death. (Sentences of longer than 365 days are usually served in state prisons while sentences of less than 365 days are usually served in a county jail.)
Felonies include crimes such as murder, theft, burglary, serious drug possession and or distribution, rape, robbery assaults and kidnapping.
A misdemeanor is generally punishable by less than 365 days in jail. Misdemeanors charges includes minor theft, minor assault, some forms of drug possession, harassment and serious motor vehicle / driving violations.
