Basically, how you will be punished. For a misdemeanor, it's less than a year in jail. For a felony, it's more than a year in prison.
Whether you will be charged with a felony or a misdemeanor depends on the seriousness of the crime.

Local jail vs State Prison time. Now that we have your attention, I suggest you actually consult with counsel on the facts and available defenses in your case. Feel free to contact me if serious about getting the legal help you need.
