Criminal charges in Minnesota fall into three categories – misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, and felonies. You may also be charged with a petty misdemeanor in Minnesota, but petty misdemeanors are not a crime as there is no possibility of going to jail if convicted. Misdemeanors are the least serious of criminal charges, whereas felonies are the highest level of crime charged in Minnesota, with a risk of a prison sentence upon conviction and life sentences for serious violent felony convictions.
