Felony and Misdemeanor Charges in Michigan
In Michigan, the government can charge people with felonies or misdemeanors. Michigan does not use a “class” system for criminal charges. A misdemeanor is punishable by one (1) year or less in jail and two (2) years on probation. Typically, misdemeanors are either 93-day offenses or 1-year offenses. Felony charges are more severe than misdemeanors, at least relative to the punishments a judge might impose. A felony can result in a prison sentence; some offenses carry maximum penalties of a term of years, and other felony convictions can result in life prison sentences. State law criminal charges occur in various district and circuit courts throughout Michigan.
