In Virginia, there are six classes of felony charges. A conviction of a Class 1 felony charge is the most serious; a conviction of a Class 6 felony charge is the least serious. Felony charges carry a potential for a sentence of greater than one year in jail. This varies from a misdemeanor charge because a misdemeanor charge carries a maximum penalty for up to one year in jail.
