John McWilliam, PLLC · Service

Habitual Felon

Defense where habitual felon status is alleged alongside a substantive charge.

Back to the John McWilliam, PLLC brand hub

What This Covers

Habitual felon status is not a separate crime but an enhancement. Where a person has prior felony convictions and is charged again, the state may allege habitual status, which raises the sentencing exposure on the new charge substantially.

Because the enhancement depends on the prior record, the accuracy and admissibility of that record becomes part of the case rather than background to it.
