Re: What is a felony?
It's not even a crime as such. It is a sentence enhancer, meaning that an assault on a domestic partner, for example, carries greater and longer lasting consequences than a similar assault on someone you are not intimate with.
It is intended to confer greater protections on people you really ought to be nicer to, because of the nature of your relationship.
