Crimes are classified as either misdemeanors or felonies. A misdemeanor is less serious and typically the accused will only face a small amount of jail time, fines, and possibly some treatment. Under Montana law, however, misdemeanors can carry up to one year in jail and significant financial obligations. Felonies are far more serious and punishable by one or more years of imprisonment.
