"E" felony crimes are considered to be the the lowest category of all felonies. They are less severe crimes likte aggravated harassment or aggravated assault. They are not as bad as "A" felony crimes such as :First degree murder, which is harder to fight in court. There have been instances where "E" felony crimes have been reduced to misdemeanors. It has happened. Good luck.
