Re: Misdemeanors/Felony
Louisiana does not define its crimes as "Class A" etc.
There are Capital Offenses, which are all felonies which can be punishable by death.
There are Felonies, punishable at "hard labor".
There are "Relative" Felonies punishable with or without "hard labor" at the judge's discretion.
There are Misdemeanors, which are not punishable at hard labor.
