What is Criminal Law?

Criminal defense law consists of the legal protections afforded to those individuals accused of committing a crime. For a person to be convicted of a crime, the prosecutor must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Criminal offenses are those that violate public law. The law classifies criminal offenses into two different categories depending on their severity: misdemeanors and felonies.

What is a Felony? Felonies are criminal offenses for which the punishment is usually in excess of one year in prison or on probation and a fine of more than $1000.00. A person may also lose some or all of their civil liberties, such as the right to vote or own a handgun, if they are convicted of this type of crime. Third Degree felonies are punishable by up to five (5) years in prison; Second Degree felonies are punishable by up to fifteen (15) years in prison; and, First Degree Felonies are punishable

What is a Misdemeanor? Misdemeanors are crimes for which the punishment cannot exceed one year in the county jail or on probation and carry a maximum of no more than $1000.00. Although less serious than felony offenses, the punishment for misdemeanor offenses may also include a variety of other hardships such as community service; mandatory drug and alcohol counseling; classes and counseling related to your offense (such as Anger Management Class or and Impulse Control Course); restitution; restriction on your right to travel; electronic monitoring; and other types of punishments. Second Degree Misdemeanors are punishable by up to sixty (60) days in jail or six (6) months of supervised probation and First Degree Misdemeanors are punishable by up to one (1) year in jail or on supervised probation.
