Most criminal acts are divided as misdemeanors (minor crimes) and felonies (serious crimes) Typically, a felony (such as murder, armed robbery, kidnapping, etc) is defined as a crime that can be punished by imprisonment for a year or more, or by death. You can go to jail for a misdemeanor, but for a period not to exeed one year.
