With my juvenile rap sheet and a few minor felonies since then, I'm looking at up to forty years.

I would be losing nothing if I got nabbed for a misde- meanor or even a minor felony.

In 2006, he received but rejected an offer to plead guilty to two minor felonies, in exchange for a 16-month sentence in a local jail.

The reported agreement would allow the troopers to plead guilty to two relatively minor felonies.

Making a living in the National Hockey League can be a dirty business, full of fights and other minor felonies.

There are a lot of drug-related misdemeanors and even minor felonies, though there have been no homicides.

Still, for all the fanfare of these annual busts, the perpetrators typically plead to misdemeanors or minor felonies.
