No, a High Court Misdemeanor is not a Felony. a Misdemeanor is a Misdemeanor and Felony is a higher different judgement.
Selling is a felony...smoking is a misdemeanor... sooooooo get high ;)
A felony is not a misdemeanor, and a misdemeanor is not a felony.
Aggravated Battery is generally a low class felony, high class misdemeanor. In most states it's a First Degree Misdemeanor.
Typically it is a misdemeanor. However, the judge can order you held in jail as long as the contempt is ongoing.
I have applied for a job that checks your background for felony and misdemeanor charges. I recently found that I have a contempt of court fine for a seat belt ticket in NJ. Is this a misdemeanor?
misdemeanor
Can a District Court Prosecutor add a misdemeanor charge to a felony charge in Michigan just on hearsay and without any evidence? I always assumed that only a Circuit Court could add additional charges after all evidence has been presented to the court.
Felony.
No. What you are charged with cannot be changed except by the court.
Misdemeanor.
The decision on whether a crime is a felony or a misdemeanor is a legislative decision and the court cannot change that directly. However most felony crimes have 'lesser included offenses' that are misdemeanors. For example, a burglary could be charged as a criminal trespass, a felony assault as a misdemeanor assault, or a robbery as a simple theft. This is not usually done by a Judge or a court, but can easily be done by a prosecutor or jury.
