(in the US) Felonies are considered o be "crimes against the state" and they would be heard in the lowest level of the state court system. States may call them by different names, but usually they are known as "Circuit Courts," or "District Courts."

Only if the felony crime that was committed was a federal offense, would it be tried in a US District Court.

It is known as the court having Original Jurisdiction. For a state felony it will be the lowest trial court level of the state court system. In the Federal system it will be a US District Court.

A 'court of original jurisdiction' meaning the court having authority in the geo-political sub-division where the crime occured. In different states they are known by different names (i.e.: Superior Court - Circuit Court - etc) in the federal system they would be heard by a US DIstrict Court.
