What is a Felony?
Any crime punishable by more than one-year in prison is technically classified as a “Felony”. In Tennessee, felony charges range from murder and arson to computer fraud and sexual crimes. Each is categorized into a specific felony class ranging from capital crimes to Class E Felonies. The crimes in these classes typically have conviction penalties of one year or longer in prison as well as accompanying fines.Other than a “Capital Crime,” such as First Degree Murder, Class A Felonies are the most serious. Following these, the rest of the felony classes decrease in severity from there (i.e. B, C, D, and E) down to Class E Felonies.
