Criminal justice system of Urcea: Difference between revisions

Class A felonies have three primary classifications. A Class A-1 Felony carries with it a mandatory life sentence in prison without the possibility of parole or the death sentence in the case of a few specific crimes. A class A-2 felony carries with it a mandatory minimum of fifteen years and the maximum of life with possibility of parole. A class A-3 felony carries with it a mandatory minimum of eight years and a maximum of life with the possibility of parole. Most class A1-3 felonies relate to grave crimes, such as treason, rape, and murder, each of which can be punishable by death, as well as kidnapping, regicide, criminal conspiracy in the first degree, and criminal conspiracy to overthrow the state. Practically speaking, however, the [[Capital_punishment_around_the_world#List|death penalty]] has not been employed in [[Urcea]] since the 1970s.

Class D felonies carry a maximum term of seven years and a minimum term of one year for nonviolent felonies and two years for violent felonies. Examples of class D nonviolent felonies include criminal trafficking of religious icons, theft of the {{wp|Eucharist}}, bribery, forgery, promoting prostitution, perjury and examples of class D violent felonies include abortion in the first degree (including by doctors in an intended abortion or by the loss of a child following an assault or murder), assault of a priest, or assault in the second degree.
