A wobbler is a criminal offense (crime) that may be charged by the prosecutor and sentenced by the judge as either a misdemeanor offense or a felony offense under applicable law.
In the state of Wyoming, the concept of a 'wobbler' offense is not formally recognized in the same manner as it is in some other states. Wyoming law does not have a specific category for crimes that can be charged as either misdemeanors or felonies depending on the circumstances. However, prosecutors do have discretion in charging decisions, and certain crimes may have varying degrees of severity that could affect whether they are charged as misdemeanors or felonies. For example, theft can be charged differently based on the value of the property stolen, with lower values typically resulting in misdemeanor charges and higher values leading to felony charges. Ultimately, the decision on how to charge a crime in Wyoming is influenced by the specific facts of the case, the defendant's criminal history, and statutory guidelines that define the elements and penalties for specific offenses.
