In California, persons convicted of a felony face death or imprisonment in a state prison.  Felonies are more serious than misdemeanors, which only provide for imprisonment in a county jail. Crimes that constitute felonies include aggravated assault, robbery, murder, certain drug offenses, and even the unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.  Because a felony conviction will affect you throughout the remainder of your lifetime, you should consult with an attorney on how to handle your case.
