It depends on what state you're in, but it's in the code of criminal procedure for whatever state you're interested in. For instance, found this in Tx:

12.33. Second Degree Felony Punishment

(a) An individual adjudged guilty of a felony of the second degree shall be punished by imprisonment in the institutional division for any term of not more than 20 years or less than 2 years.

(b) In addition to imprisonment, an individual adjudged guilty of a felony of the second degree may be punished by a fine not to exceed $ 10,000.

What is the sentence for menacing in the first degree?

The sentence can vary considerably based on the actual charge. While "menacing in the second degree" is typically a Class A misdemeanor, first degree menacing is a class E felony. In Ohio, for example, menacing and stalking as a 4th degree misdemeanor is punishable by a fine or up to 30 days in jail, and aggravated menacing is a 1st degree misdemeanor with up to 6 months in jail. For repeat offenses or those involving a minor, it can be a 4th degree felony with a maximum prison term of 18 months.

What is the difference between first degree murder and first degree felony murder?

Nothing is different between 1st degree murder and 1st degree felony murder. The only difference is the addition of the word "felony". In fact, both are the same crime and both are felonies, so "1st degree felony murder" is a redundant term.


Is burglary of a habitation in excess of five thousand dollars a felony?

Yes. I don't think that the value of the items/item that was taken matters. Burglary of habitation is a second degree felony and the sentence is 2-20. Criminal Mischief starts out as a misdemeanor and can go as high as a first degree felony depending on the value of the items stolen or destroyed.


Does a person who violates their parole with a new felony have to serve the maximum on the original sentence?

It depends on the sentence for the second offense. If the judge sentences you to serve the second sentence consecutive (after) to the first, you will serve the remainder of the first sentence before beginning the second. If the judge orders the sentence concurrent, you will service both at the same time.
