What Are the Penalties for Felonies in Mississippi?

In addition to jail time, a felony conviction can have long-lasting consequences. A felony conviction can prevent you from getting a job, renting an apartment, or getting a loan. A felony conviction can also prevent you from getting a professional license, qualifying for a student loan, or even voting. In addition, a felony conviction can cause immigration problems if you are not a U.S. citizen.

In addition to jail time and fines, a felony conviction can also come with probation. If you are convicted of a felony, you will be subject to a probationary period. The length of your probation will depend on the seriousness of your crime. During your probation, you will be required to follow certain rules, such as regularly reporting to your probation officer and obeying all laws. If you violate any of the terms of your probation, you can be sent to jail. You will be on probation for a minimum of one year and up to a maximum of five years.

How Does the State Prove That I Am Guilty of a Felony?

For the state to convict you of a felony, the state must prove that you are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. 

The state may use the following to prove you are guilty:  

  • Physical evidence
  • Eyewitness testimony
  • Testimony of an expert witness 

In addition to the above, the state may also use circumstantial evidence to convict you of a felony. Circumstantial evidence is evidence that does not directly prove that you are guilty of a crime. For example, if the state has video footage of you stealing a car and you are the only person in the video, the state may use the video to convict you of the felony.
