West Virginia's Felony Crime and Penalty System
While most states categorize felonies by class, West Virginia courts determine punishments on an individual crime-by-crime basis. The most serious crimes, such as murder, can result in life imprisonment. Creating child pornography warrants up to ten years in prison and a possible fine of up to $10,000. While different crimes have different penalties, felony convictions of a person already convicted will suffer harsher consequences than first-timers. There are also no statutes of limitations for any felonies in West Virginia.
