As of January 2021, California stopped using mandatory minimum sentencing requirements for non-violent drug crimes. Judges can now reconsider the punishments for those convicted of a crime and have already spent 15 years in prison.
Felony Penalties Class A Felonies: Up to life in prison and up to a $50,000 fine. Class B Felonies: Up to 10 years in prison and up to a $20,000 fine. Class C Felonies: Up to 5 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.
In Western Australia, the Criminal Code Act Consolidation Act 1913 sets out the different mandatory minimum sentences to be imposed for offences when they are committed by an adult and when they are committed by a juvenile.
For some crimes, the legislature has given judges a great deal of discretion in sentencing. However, for other types of crimes like driving under the influence and felonies, the legislature has limited the discretion of judges and written laws that require a minimum sentence or a sentence within a specific range.
Assault 3rd Degree (Assault 3) is a Class C felony. RCW 9A. 36.031 It is punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. There is a standard or presumptive sentencing range that is dependent upon the criminal history of the accused.
Crimes are classified as felonies, gross misdemeanors, or misdemeanors. (2) A crime is a felony if it is so designated in this title or by any other statute of this state or if persons convicted thereof may be sentenced to imprisonment for a term in excess of one year.
(The statute of limitations, or how long the prosecutor has after an incident to file charges, is one year for a simple misdemeanor, two years for a gross misdemeanor, and three years for most felony charges.)
In California, a felony conviction stays on your record forever, if you do not get it expunged. You may be eligible for an expungement if you did not serve time in state prison. Until you get the conviction removed from your criminal history, you can face serious obstacles.

If a state has only three felony levels, Class A typically will be the most serious and Class C the least serious. But some states have upwards of five or more felony levels, which places a Class C felony more towards the middle in terms of severity.
