What crimes constitute a class D felony in NY?
Not including "class D Violent felonies", they include Attempted manslaughter in the 2nd degree, attempted vehicular manslaughter in the 2nd degree, vehicular assault in the 1st degree, reckless endangerment in the 1st degree, attempted rape in the 2nd degree, sodomy in the 2nd degree, and promoting a sexual performance by a child. I got this from the NYSED website.
"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.

For her founders strong and great.

All with thee, all with thee.
When we stood at childhood's gate,
Shapeless in the hands of fate,
Thou didst mold us dear old State
Dear Old State, dear old State.
May no act of ours bring shame
To one heart that loves thy name,
May our lives but swell thy fame,
Dear old State, dear old State.
