What is a Class C Felony?
The law broadly categorizes crimes into two main groups: misdemeanors and felonies. Misdemeanors are less severe, while felonies are more serious. Felonies come with more significant legal consequences than misdemeanors. These consequences can range from hefty fines and probation to imprisonment. As you’ll see later, penalties for Class C felonies are at the lower end of this scale. But this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be concerned.
