FAQ
Generally, a conviction for a Class 2 felony can result in a prison sentence of three to 35 years, depending on the circumstances of the offense, whether it was a dangerous offense, and whether the convicted person has prior convictions.
Fortunately, Arizona's criminal code offers a break for first-time felony offenders that may significantly decrease prison time. In cases involving a class 6 felony, the judge may even be able to downgrade the offense to a class 1 misdemeanor, allowing the defendant to avoid prison altogether.
The length of felony probation in Arizona depends on the severity of the offense for which the offender was convicted. For example, probation for a Class 4 felony may last up to three years, while probation for a Class 2 felony may last up to seven years.
Traditionally, felonies carry the possibility of a state prison sentence, fines, or both. However, not all felony convictions lead to jail time. Judges in California have the discretion to grant probation under specific conditions, considering various factors that extend beyond the mere categorization of the crime.
Although prison terms can vary depending on the severity of the offense and the defendant's priors, the average non-dangerous offense for first-time offenders carries a sentence of between three and 12.5 years while a dangerous crime for those with no prior felony convictions can range between 7 and 21 years.
State prisoner recidivism rates average around 68 percent for rearrests within the first three years post-release (Alper, Duros, and Markman 2018). This rate increases to 79 percent and 83 percent at five and nine years post-release, respectively (Alper, Durose, and Markman 2018).
A class 2 felony is typically punishable by 3 to 35 years in prison, depending on the defendant's past criminal history. The more prior felony convictions, the defendant has, the higher the potential sentencing range.
In Arizona, a misdemeanor offense will stay on your criminal record indefinitely unless it is sealed or expunged. Recent changes to Arizona law have made it easier for individuals to seal their criminal records.
