Although some people use the terms felony and misdemeanor interchangeably, they don’t mean the same thing. Generally, a misdemeanor is a less serious crime than a felony. Misdemeanors usually involve smaller fines, temporary punishments, and jail time of less than a year.
On the other hand, a felony is a more serious type of crime, and in most states, it carries a punishment of more than a year. However, this varies between states.
