Types of Felonies in Florida

Though prison terms and fines vary widely, every felony conviction comes with certain mandatory consequences. If guilty, the convicted felon can never own a firearm or cast a vote. He or she may also be barred from the attainment of college loans, and will find it difficult to find employment, housing, and credit. In Florida, prosecutors can charge a large variety of crimes as felonies.

• Carrying a Concealed Weapon
• Robbery
• Drug Trafficking
• Rape and Other Sex Crimes
• Violent Resistance to a Police Officer
• Carjacking
• Grand Theft
• Stalking
• The Possession of Any Controlled Substance, Except Marijuana
• Kidnapping
• Burglary
• Child Abuse
• Aggravated Assault and/or Battery
• Murder

Each of these crimes will be organized into one of five categories that Florida has established to grade felonies. The punishments below all indicate the maximum sentence for their given crime.

Third-Degree Felony: Five years in state prison and a fine of $5,000.

Second-Degree Felony: Fifteen years in state prison and a fine of $10,000.

First-Degree Felony: Thirty years in state prison and a fine of $10,000.

Life Felony: Life in prison, with a fine of $15,000.

Capital Felony: Punishable by death.

To establish the degree of punishment for any given crime, the state of Florida uses a point system. The higher a felony’s score, the closer it gets to a maximum sentence. A minimum score of 44 indicates the need for imprisonment.
