In Alabama, the law distinguishes between felonies and misdemeanors based on the severity of the offense and the penalties imposed. Felonies are considered serious crimes, such as murder, rape, burglary, and arson, which are punishable by imprisonment for more than one year, substantial fines, or both. The consequences of a felony conviction extend beyond the legal penalties, affecting an individual's employment opportunities, voting rights, and ability to own firearms.

Misdemeanors, on the other hand, encompass less severe crimes like petty theft, simple assault, trespassing, and driving under the influence (DUI) with no serious injury or damage. These offenses are generally punishable by imprisonment for less than one year, smaller fines, or both. Although misdemeanors carry less severe penalties compared to felonies, they can still have significant implications on an individual's personal and professional life.
