Wisconsin Felony Crimes 

Wisconsin statutes organize felony crimes into nine classes. Class A is the most serious with severe penalties. 

Class A Felony Crimes

This class is the most serious. If convicted, you will spend the rest of your life behind bars. Class A felonies include first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree intentional homicide of an unborn child, first-degree sexual assault of a child under 13 years old (if great bodily harm is caused to the child) and treason.

Class B Felony Crimes

While less serious than Class A, Class B felonies are still very consequential and can land someone in jail for six decades. Crimes that are categorized as Class B include repeated neglect of a child that results in their death, first-degree sexual assault of a child under 13 years old, kidnapping with ransom, first-degree sexual assault, and first-degree reckless homicide.

Class C Felony Crimes

Crimes under Class C include second-degree sexual assault, kidnapping, stealing a vehicle using a deadly weapon, and robbery with use of a deadly weapon. 

Class D Felony Crimes

Crimes under Class D include first-degree reckless injury, human trafficking, and child enticement. 

Class E through Class I Crimes

These crimes have less extreme potential sentences but are still very serious. These crimes include providing alcohol to an underage person, forging a lottery ticket, attempting to disarm a peace officer, assisting in another’s suicide, negligent vehicular homicide, false imprisonment, and stalking.
