Misdemeanors in Mississippi do not include state prison time. Instead, they are punishable by up to a year in county jail and/or a fine. Any Mississippi crime not specifically punishable by state prison time is a misdemeanor.
Misdemeanors in Mississippi include, but are not limited to, the following:
Crimes punishable by time in county jail or state prison are usually misdemeanors. There is a criminal statute of limitations, or time limit, for most misdemeanors in Mississippi of two years from the date of the alleged crime. After that time, a prosecutor cannot bring charges for an alleged misdemeanor violation.
Any crime punishable by death or incarceration in state prison is a felony in Mississippi. A felony crime will list state prison as a potential penalty.
Felonies in Mississippi may include:
While crimes punishable by time in county jail and/or a fine are considered misdemeanors in Mississippi, there are exceptions once that crime has gone to sentencing. These are best discussed and clarified on an individual basis with an experienced Mississippi criminal defense attorney.
The statute of limitations varies for several Mississippi felonies including, but not limited to:
Prosecutors may bring the above charges at any time. There are other exceptions to the two-year statute of limitations as well, making it wise to discuss your charges with your criminal defense attorney if you believe your crime is outside of any statute of limitations.
