Can a Class 6 Felony Get Reduced to a Misdemeanor?
The Power of a Team
Yes, under Arizona law, a Class 6 felony is the only class of felony that can be reduced to a misdemeanor at sentencing. Under Arizona Revised Statute 13-604, if a person is convicted of a class 6 felony, and it has not been designated a dangerous offense, the court may designate the crime a class 1 misdemeanor. In order to make this designation the judge would have to believe that punishing the crime as a felony would be unduly harsh. The judge may do this is the person has no more than one prior felony conviction. However, if the accused has two or more prior felony convictions, then the judge cannot reduce the current case to a misdemeanor.
