Consequences of Criminal Charges in Florida

Crimes in Florida are divided by two main categories: misdemeanors and felonies.

On the other hand, felonies are more serious and punishable by up to life imprisonment or the death penalty. Common examples of felonies include murder, sex crimes, drug possession besides cannabis, kidnapping, burglary, grand theft, aggravated battery, and child abuse.

Felonies in Florida include:

  • Capital felony – Punishable by a life imprisonment without parole or the death penalty

  • Life felony – Punishable by life imprisonment and a maximum fine of $15,000
