Distinguish between a felony, a misdemeanor, and a petty crime

What will be an ideal response?

Felonies include serious crimes such as murder or rape, and are punishable by death or imprisonment in a penitentiary. Defendants charged with a felony are entitled to a jury trial. Misdemeanors, which are considered less serious crimes, are punishable by a fine or by imprisonment of less than a year in a local jail. Examples of misdemeanors included assault (a threat to injure someone) and disorderly conduct. In most states, petty crimes are considered a subcategory of misdemeanors; they are punishable by a fine or incarceration for six months or less. A building code violation is an example of a petty crime.
