A so-called "Class 0" felony is a sub-classification of Class 1 felonies that automatically result in the death penalty. Also known as trigger felonies, they are typically described as crimes that pose an immediate and serious threat to life for a group of individuals. They can range from homicide and familicide to massacre and genocide. Whether the crimes are spurious or premeditated does not seem to carry much weight in the legal system, although some crimes, such as unintentional vehicular manslaughter, that are caused by severe weather or other uncontrollable circumstances, are more likely to be reclassified into a life-sentence or multi-year sentence. Although Cartadania has legally struck down the use of the death penalty in all other classes, these specific crimes continue to be tried "summa poena" with the adjudication continuing "poena mortis" in most jurisdictions, including the federal courts.

A key and recent example of this is the massacre of 14 people in eastern Cartadania in late 2021. On 4 September 2021, [[Cane Pendry]], a Luso-Varshani man from [[São Andreas]], was arrested in [[Cambria]] for the murder of a young woman outside of a local restaurant just outside of the state capital. Detained in a Cambria State Prison for 14 days before being bought to trial, the State of Cambria ruled "Summa poena", though without the death penalty, as the state made it illegal in 2009, meaning a life sentence. However, Pendry appealed the decision up to the Cambria Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of the lower court on 27 September 2021. However, on 30 September 2021, just 3 days after the Supreme Court trial, the Cartadanian Federal Court of Appeals for the First Circuit subpoenaed Pendry to Valorica. According to an investigation conducted by the Triessa Department of Justice, São Andreas Justice Department, and the court systems of both states, Pendry had been linked to fourteen separate murders occurring between the two states, in addition to the Cambria homicide in an event that would later become the Laurinburg Massacre. On 12 October 2021, after being held in federal prison for two weeks, the Federal Court of Appeals for the First Circuit adjudicated Pendry "poena mortis" and Pendry was moved to [[Institution 9J]], where he was executed nine days later. It has been the most recent use of a trigger-felony to date.
A key and recent example of this is the massacre of 14 people in eastern Cartadania in late 2021. On 4 September 2021, [[Cane Pendry]], a Luso-Varshani man from [[São Andreas]], was arrested in [[Cascália]] for the murder of a young woman outside of a local restaurant just outside of the state capital. Detained in a Cascália State Prison for 14 days before being bought to trial, the State of Cascália ruled "Summa poena", though without the death penalty, as the state made it illegal in 2009, meaning a life sentence. However, Pendry appealed the decision up to the Cascália Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of the lower court on 27 September 2021.

=== Misdemeanors ===
=== Misdemeanors ===
A misdemeanor in Cartadanian law is any other crime punishable by imprisonment with a minimum of less than one year or by fine. Unlike a felony, an attempt to commit a misdemeanor is a crime only if specifically prescribed as such by law. Even if a criminal charge for the defendant's conduct is normally a misdemeanor, sometimes a repeat offender will be charged with a felony offense. For example, the first time a person commits certain crimes, such as spousal assault, it is normally a misdemeanor, but the second time it may become a felony. Misdemeanors usually do not result in the restriction of civil rights, but may result in loss of privileges, such as professional licenses, public offices, or public employment. Such effects are known as the {{wp|collateral consequences of criminal charges}}. Consequently, both misdemeanors and felonies can result in particular forms of discrimination, especially in employment. Some states have specific laws to avoid this issue, such as specific records for employers that do not list minor crimes. This is especially true of minors, who, barring the adjudication of a felony, will usually have their record wiped at 18 (if 16 or younger) or 21 (if 17 or 18).
