In Arizona, a crime can be classified as either a felony or a misdemeanor. Felonies are more serious crimes such as murder or rape. Misdemeanors are considered less serious crimes, and are usually punished much less severely than felonies. Typically, if you are charged with a misdemeanor, you are subject to less than one year of imprisonment, as well as monetary fines.<\/p>\n
