Understanding Criminal Charges
When accused of a crime, understanding the charges is crucial. The charging document (citation, complaint, indictment, or information) outlines what you’re accused of and the associated legal implications.
Types of Criminal Charges
- Misdemeanors : Less serious offenses, such as shoplifting or trespassing, usually resulting in less than a year in jail.
- Felonies : Serious crimes like murder, kidnapping, or armed robbery, carrying longer prison sentences, sometimes even life.
Navigating DUI Cases
