You need to specify which state you are referring to. States classify felonies according to the penalty the felony is punishable up to in terms of years in prison and fines. In Florida a third-degree felony is the least serious of the felony classifications, and is punishable by up to five years in prison, a $5,000 fine, or both. In addition each felony charge is assigned a severity level number which dictates on the punishment score sheet how many points to assign for the primary offense, which is the most severe offense, called the controlling crime/offense, any additional charges, and any prior offenses and their severity levels. Points are also added according to victim injury or death, victim loss of property, and any influential factors such as if the victim is a law-enforcement officer, a disabled person, elderly, or other special conditions of the victim or his occupation. If the crime was a hate crime, gang-related, or the offender was on probation, bail or other legal status, more points are added. The total number of points, minus 28, equals the number of months in prison the sentencing guidelines call for. Some crimes carry mandatory minimum sentences the judge must impose. As already mentioned, third degree felonies are punishable by up to five years in prison and/or a $5,000 fine. A capital felony is punishable by life in prison or the death penalty. A first degree PBL (punishable by life) is punishable by 25 years in prison or up to life. A first-degree felony (not PBL) is punishable by up to 25 years in prison, and a 2nd degree felony is punishable by up to 15 years in prison. In other states felonies can be classified by letters, such as A through H, the highest letter being the least serious. (In criminology a higher number in degree is less severe. In medicine, a higher number is more severe, such as a first-degree burn vs. a fourth-degree burn, the latter being more severe).
