A "misdemeanor," is a "lesser" criminal act. Misdemeanors generally carry penalties far less severe than felonies, but they usually involve a fine and occasionally brief time in jail.
A "gross misdemeanor" is more serious than a misdemeanor, but less serious than a felony. A gross misdemeanor is punishable by no more than one year in jail and a maximum fine of $3,000.
While not nearly as serious as a felony, misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor charges are not to be taken lightly. In the case of DUI, for instance, several convictions within a specified period suddenly turns into a felony charge.
