A
felony is a criminal offense, considered much more
severe of a criminal charge than a misdemeanor charge. The
fines, length of probation, and / or jail time involves
penalties which are more severe monetarily, in length of
probation or incarceration, and the loss of many
constitutional
rights, which may include your right to vote, your ability to
sit on a jury, or be employed by the government, etc
Fines and
penalties for a felony conviction may include:
3rd degree felony: punishable by up to a $5,000
fine, five (5) years probation, five (5) years jail.
2nd degree felony: punishable by up to a $10,000
fine, fifteen (15) years probation, fifteen (15) years
jail.
1st degree felony: punishable by up to $10,000 fine,
thirty (30) years probation, thirty (30) years jail.
Some
felonies may carry
required
minimum jail sentences upon
conviction. There are also criminal offenses
punishable by life imprisonment (a life felony) and others
punishable by life imprisonment or death (a capital
felony). Felony crimes may include, but are not limited to:

felons are often prohibited from employment in
occupations involving the handling of money or valuables.

stumbling block if you later decide to pursue
employment in a professional
discipline field such as medicine,
nursing, teaching, real estate, financial services, or
practicing law. If you are already licensed in a
particular discipline profession, a felony conviction
could result in a review of your "character and fitness",
jeopardizing your ability to continue to work in that field.
