You are talking about apples and oranges here.... Some States use different terminology to describe the levels of offenses.
In Illinois,
Class 4 Felony is 1-3 yrs
Class 3 =2-5yrs
Class 2 = 3-7yrs
Class 1 = 4-15yrs
Class X = 6-30yrs
1st Degree Murder = 20-30 yrs.
Other states may use A, B, C, D to describe the seriousness of the crime.
D may be the least serious, or the most serious depending how they assign the letters.

class 4 is pretty bad... as well as a class D... the farther the rank in the # or alphabet, the worse it gets... a class A would be the basic charge you might get for something minimal... but then you are lookin at a FELONY!! that in itslef is bad enough... try to get it pushed down to a misdemeanor and you should be a little lighter on jail/ prison time!
