Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Re: cf,bc

Felonies in the state of NY are broken into 5 major catagories, A-E. A felonies are further broken down into A1 Felonies and A2 Felonies.

Felonies are also subdivided by Violent v. Non-violent felonies.

Without going into more of an explination, it sounds like the question you're asking is you read on a court calendar that some one was charged with a CF what that means is he is charged with a "C" level Felony. The F means nothing and is not a severity level.

A person charged with a "C" Felony faces up to 15 years in prison. IF he is further charged with a violent felony he faces a mandatory minimum sentence. If he is charged with a non-violent Felony, he is eligible for probation or even unsupervised probation.

As for "bc" I can only think that it indicates either a violation for section "b" and "c" of the main statute. Otherwise it is a court internal marking.
