Question: felony offense
Someone wrote somewhere that act X "is a felony offense" (or offence as my Eng>It dic would have it).
Is this correct? I thought one could say "X is an offence" or "X is a felony", but not both, but of course I may very well be wrong which is why I'm asking here. Or does saying that "X is a felony offence" attribute to act X an added weight, legally speaking? TIA.

[nq:1]Someone wrote somewhere that act X "is a felony offense" correct? I thought one could say "X is an offence" or "X is a felony"[/nq]
It means "X is an offense with the weight of a felony". This implies that X is itself a felony, of course, so one could equivalently say "X is a felony", but "felony offense" is certainly heard often.
Ianal; perhaps one such (or anyone else for that

I'm not sure whether UK English has the concept of "felony" as a distinct sub-set of offences.

Abolished in England and Wales in 1967.
I don't know whether Scottish law has such a distinction.

Seems redundant to me, from an AmE perspective, since "felony" is commonly used as a noun anyway. There wouldn't be any difference between a "felony" and a "felon
