How are felonies classified in Missouri?
The lines between different felony charges can be open to interpretation. This is why you need a dedicated felony criminal defense attorney on your case. Missouri has five separate felony classifications:
- Class E felonies: crimes involving reckless criminal negligence resulting in injuries
- Class D felonies: crimes such as fraud, resisting arrest or domestic assault
- Class C felonies: includes involuntary manslaughter, statutory rape and possession of a controlled substance
- Class B felonies: crimes including voluntary manslaughter and first-degree burglary
- Class A felonies: includes murder, kidnapping, child rape and some drug crimes
It is worth noting that most felonies can be removed from your record after seven years, but Class A felonies will remain forever. To discuss your legal options moving forward, reach out to our local law office today.
