Felonies

A felony is a crime for which an accused faces a sentence of more than 1 year in prison.  New York State distinguishes criminal offenses into two distinct categories: felonies and misdemeanors.  Being convicted of a felony can lead to a lengthy prison term as well as heavy fines and other damaging and lasting consequences.
