In many situations a criminal offense which is considered a Federal crime also violates California state law. In a majority of these cases the defendant will be tried in a Federal court with a grand jury. The penalties associated with Federal crimes are the most severe in the United States and, depending upon the alleged legal violation, may include the death penalty.
