As dumb as it may sound - I'd start with a good attorney - that's what they do.
Yes, it is a class d felony, but can be plead down to a misdemeanor
Yes even a misdemeanor gives you a record
"5-12-102. Robbery.(a) A person commits robbery if, with the purpose of committing a felony or misdemeanor theft or resisting apprehension immediately after committing a felony or misdemeanor theft, the person employs or threatens to immediately employ physical force upon another person.(b) Robbery is a Class B felony."
it should be a felony. the police cannot arrest on a misdemeanor that does not occur in their presence (except for a few exceptions). it should be at least a class d felony.
Resisting arrest is a Class A misdemeanor, but can be considered a Class D Felony if one tries to flee in a vehicle.
It all depends on which part of KRS 514.110 you are referring to. There are several conditions which determines whether it is a felony or misdemeanor. If the value of the property is U/$500 then it is a Class A Misdemeanor, O/$500 but U/$10,000.00, then it is a Class D Felony. Over $10,000 is a Class C Felony. If it is a Firearm, regardless of the value, it is a Class D Felony. Punishment can range from fines, jail, or prison. This is generally used when there is not enough evidence to prove that you actually stole the items, but said items are found on your possession.
Under IC 35-44-2-1, the penalty for perjury is a Class D felony. A Class D felony is punishable by a prison term ranging from six months to three years or reduction to Class A misdemeanor depending upon mitigating and aggravating circumstances. The average length of stay in Department of Correction (DOC) facilities for all Class D felony offenders is approximately ten months. The maximum fine for a Class D felony is $10,000.
Depends on what the misdemeanor WAS.
Oregon does not recognize a Class D felony; they group crimes in Class A, B, or C only. A Class C felony carries a sentence of up to 5 years and a Class B felony carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. Class A is the most serious and carries up to 20 years in prison.
Try copping a plea with the prosecutor. Offer to plead guilty to a lesser charge and accepting a lesser term behind bars. It may work unless your offense was REALLY serious - or, it was 'high profile' - or, they have you dead to rights and the case is a 'slam-dunk' for the prosecutor. If any of those apply, you are SOL.
It depends on the state you reside in. A DUI is typically a misdemeanor unless it involves other factors such as multiple offenses, child endangerment, or death or serious injury.
Any Felony carries a min of 5 years in jail ... the Judge can reduce the time you have to due ...
