As a general rule, penalties and
other consequences of a misdemeanor conviction are typically
less severe than those of a felony conviction. Usually, a person
convicted of a misdemeanor may still vote, serve on a jury, and
practice his or her profession.

may, in some cases, be able to "plead down" a felony
to a misdemeanor, which will not only minimize the resulting
punishment, but will also lessen the consequences for your
future.
In the State of
Florida there are two degrees of a misdemeanor crime which
include:
-
2nd degree
misdemeanor:
punishable by up to a $500 fine, sixty (60) days jail
