Criminal justice system of Urcea: Difference between revisions

The classes and types of crimes are established by Urcea's [[Consolidated_Laws_of_HMCM%27s_Kingdom_and_State#List_of_chapters|Penal Law]], which provides for minimum sentencing requirements and whose classifications determine what type of court tries a case. The penal law provides that the court shall determine the sentence, but provides for maximums and minimums for each type of national crime. Provinces may adopt laws assigning penalties which exceed national law, and in those cases higher courts defer to provincial law for sentencing. There are five types of crimes established nationwide - class A felonies, violent felonies, non-violent felonies, misdemeanors, and petty misdemeanors. Petty misdemeanors are tried by diocesan courts, while the remainder of these federal violations can be tried by the conrudimental courts or by provincial courts with federal charges added in addition to the primary charge brought forward by the province.
