An Overview Of The State And Federal Criminal Court Systems
In the United States, federal and state courts oversee criminal cases. State courts typically oversee most criminal cases. Federal courts have jurisdiction over certain kinds of crimes and there may be overlap between state and federal jurisdiction. Each system manages different types of cases, and understanding the nuances of each is crucial for effective legal representation. Here is a more detailed breakdown of each type of case:
State Court Cases
State criminal courts deal with criminal matters governed by state laws. These cases can include a wide range of issues, such as:
- Assault
- Shoplifting
- Robbery
- Domestic violence
- Drug possession
- Firearms offenses
- Driving under the influence
- Sex offenses
In Kentucky, criminal offenses can be misdemeanors or felony offenses. The penalties for each can vary depending on the severity of the charge and the offense.
Federal Court Cases
On the other hand, federal criminal courts are responsible for handling cases involving violations of federal law, illegal actions taken against the United States government or actions that violate the Constitution. Some examples of federal criminal violations include:
- Drug trafficking
- Human trafficking
- Theft of federal property
- Tax evasion/fraud
The penalties for federal crimes are often more severe than for state crimes and can be more intimidating to fight. That is why hiring a criminal defense lawyer experienced in handling federal criminal cases is so important. Attorney Travis Rossman practices in the London and Lexington divisions of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky.
