What is a felony?<\/h3>\n

In Georgia, there are two types of criminal charge categories as it relates to severity and sentencing: misdemeanors and felonies.<\/p>\n

Misdemeanors are the less serious crimes of the two categories and, in general, can only be punished by 12 months in jail and\/or $1000 fine.\u00a0 There is a subcategory in misdemeanors that is called high and aggravated that can carry a longer jail term and fine.\u00a0 Read more about misdemeanors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Felonies consist of the most severe offenses and are sentenced with a minimum of 1 year in prison.\u00a0 A felony sentence can have a maximum depending on the offense.\u00a0 Being convicted of a felony also has more consequences and you can lose more than a misdemeanor - the right to carry a firearm, vote, and run for office, job opportunities, school opportunities, and more.<\/p>\n
