Felonies are considered the most serious crimes in the United States.  These are typically crimes for which the legal penalty is more than one year in prison, or the death penalty.  Crimes where the penalty is a fine, community service, probation, or local jail confinement are considered misdemeanor offenses.  Examples of felony offenses are arson, murder, rape, robbery, burglary, manslaughter, and kidnapping, among others.  Each state varies in its penalty for felonies depending on the type and severity of the crime committed.  Penalties are also often left up to the discretion of the judge hearing the case. 

Adhering the term penalty to a crime also means providing the alleged individual with proper criminal procedures as laid down in the law.  This means have the right to an attorney to represent them in court (court-appointed or otherwise).  They are also given the right to be present during the trial of their case, and have involvement in the trial.  In many misdemeanor cases, the individual isn’t required to be in court, or can have a legal representative appear for them.  This is not the case with felonies, in which the individual must appear before a judge.

Furthermore, individuals convicted of felonies have fewer rights when released than those charged with misdemeanors.  Misdemeanors may be expunged upon petition to the court, whereas felonies generally are not permitted to be expunged.  Misdemeanor criminals are also still permitted to serve on juries, vote, and take on any profession, whereas felony offenders are often limited in career choices and unable to serve on juries and vote.
