Felonies and the "Three Strikes Law" in California

The difference between a felony and a misdemeanor is the matter of severity of the crime and, accordingly, the sentencing. Felonies are crimes punishable by imprisonment in excess of one year and, in the most severe cases, can include the death penalty. Misdemeanors are punishable by imprisonment of one year or less. Being charged with a felony is a very serious matter. If this has happened to you, contacting a Riverside felony lawyer should be your first action.

California imposes some of the harshest sentencing for felony convictions. The "three strikes law" requires significant increases of prison time after the first felony conviction, even if it was for a non-violent crime. A second felony conviction automatically results in doubling of a prison term, and a third requires a sentence of 25 years to life in prison. It is important to note that the first and second "strikes" are counted by individual charges, rather than by case.
