Law In North Carolina Usa

[Crazyaunt]

Does anyone know are any of these felonies and what sentences they carry?

"Authorities charged Thompson with disorderly conduct by injury to a statue, damage to real property, participation in a riot with property damage in excess of $1,500 and inciting others to riot where there is property damage in excess of $1,500."

the report is virtually meaningless to us Brits
and the idea of AOG being a jurist sent a shiver down my spine

as for zebo's point - misdemeanour and felony
went out with the Criminal Law Amendment act 1971 or something
now arrestable and non-arrestable - I think

as for Grand Jury in case anyone is wondering - that went out in the reforms of 1835

That you, Will?

I have dyslexia once you school children stop guffawing amongst yourselves. My sister is married to a black man and has mixed raced kids and one of my nieces is disabled and terminally sick if you need any more "lol" material.

That's Peter.

Or heidthebaw?

[Zacs-Master]

That's nothing. My dad was a lesbian trapped inside a man's body and lived in tower hamlets.

[Tilly2]

What fun this is!

Why would heidthebaw need a new username?

Most states break their crimes into two major groups: felonies and misdemeanors. Whether a crime falls into one category or the other depends on the potential punishment. If a law provides for imprisonment for longer than a year, it is usually considered a felony. In most states, if the potential punishment is for a year or less, then the crime is considered a misdemeanor.

In some states, certain crimes are known as "wobblers," which means that the prosecutor may charge the crime as either a misdemeanor or a felony.

Behaviors punishable only by fine are usually not considered crimes at all, but infractions -- for example, traffic tickets. But legislatures sometimes label a behavior punishable only by fine as a misdemeanor -- such as possession of less than an ounce of marijuana for personal use in California.
