Answer:

More than a year.

Step-by-step explanation:

A felony is a crime that results in the loss of life or property on the part of the victim. It results in the confiscation of the accused land or goods for the crime he had committed. Such crimes may include ra pe, murder, arson, or even kidnapping.

Crimes such as the above mentioned are more serious than other crimes and thus termed felonies. Other crimes that are not in the same level are more generally termed misdemeanors. A felony can result in the conviction of the accused with either a death penalty or a maximum sentence of more than a year in prison.
