Penalties for Felony Charges
Although all felony charges are serious, penalties can still vary in severity depending on the crime that was committed. Felonies are categorized in degrees and the penalties increase according to degree.
The following shows how much time you serve per felony degree:
- State jail felony: A minimum of 180 days to 2 years in state jail
- State jail felony with a deadly weapon: A minimum of 2 years up to 10 years in state jail
