Utah Felony Classes in South Jordan Cases
Utah defines four classes of felony under Utah Code Title 76. Each class in a South Jordan felony record carries a different sentencing range.
Capital felonies carry the death penalty or life without parole. First degree felonies carry 5 years to life in prison and fines up to $10,000. Second degree felonies carry 1 to 15 years in prison and fines up to $10,000. Third degree felonies carry up to 5 years in prison and fines up to $5,000. These are the ranges set by law. The actual sentence in a South Jordan felony record may be lower due to plea terms, mitigating circumstances, or other factors the court considered at sentencing.
Expungement Options for South Jordan Felony Records
South Jordan residents who completed a felony sentence may qualify to have the record expunged. Expungement seals the record so it no longer appears in public searches through XChange or other court record tools. The record is not destroyed, but access is removed for most standard searches.
Start by applying for a certificate of eligibility through the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification at bci.utah.gov/expungements. BCI reviews your criminal history and issues the certificate if you qualify. Capital felonies, violent first degree offenses, and sex crimes are generally excluded. Once BCI issues the certificate, you petition the 3rd Judicial District Court in Salt Lake County. A hearing may be required. If the court grants the expungement, South Jordan felony records covered by the order are sealed from public access. BCI and the courts both update their records to reflect the expungement order.
Note: Completing a sentence does not automatically seal a South Jordan felony record. You must actively file for expungement and receive a court order for the record to be sealed.
