The difference between a misdemeanor and felony offense is the following: a misdemeanor is a lower level crime and anyone convicted may face up to 1 year in jail, fines, restitution, community service, probation, parole and many other serious penalties. A felony is a high level crime and can result in up to a lifetime prison sentence or a death penalty sentence; in addition to several other very harsh penalties.
