How was the sentence imposed? (i.e.- a 2 year sentence - serve 60 days with the remainder suspended? -OR- the ENTIRE 2 years sentence suspended?) It all depends upon the wording of the judge's decision.
A suspended execution of sentence is when the judge actually renders a sentence to the defendant, but passes the execution of the sentence on defendant unless they commit another offense. The court will then have the right to impose the original sentence upon the defendant. A suspended imposition of sentence is when the judge does not enter a sentence on defendant and has the right to execute a sentence upon the defendant should they commit another offense.
This usually means that the convicted individual is released from jail on probation. If he/she gets into trouble again, they have to serve the suspended jail/prison time.
A suspended jail term usually means that an offender doesn't have to serve sentenced jail time because of some sort of deal w/ a court. For example "if you stay out of trouble and do community service for 10 months, your jail sentence will be cleared"
Basically it indicates the non compliant parent is going to be sentenced to jail time. Suspension of imposition means the person will not go to jail if he or she complies completely to the terms of the court.
Example: If you were found guilty and sentenced to either a fine or time in jail BUT the judge suspended the sentence.... it usually is suspended based on something that the judge wants from you in return (e.g: drive with no tickets for the nest 3 years - or - live your life with no police involvement for the next 2 years - or - something similar to that). If you fail to do these things the judge is requesting of you (in return for the suspended sentence), he could re-impose the previously suspended sentence and have you serve it as punishment.
In Spain
uhmm you have to go to jail to serve a life sentence. so how can you even ask this question?
It means 3 years in jail.
If you are in jail for a VOP, you will likely serve the remainder of your sentence behind bars.
Probation is used to give a person a chance to not go to jail. A violation of the probation means that the judge can impose a new sentence that is likely to include jail or prison.
It is entirely up to the decision of judge who gave you the sentence of probation in the first place. You could be remanded to jail to serve out the remaainder of your sentence behind bars.
When you issued a suspended sentance, that means they are holding it over you head, for instance, if you were issued a 30 day suspended sentence, and you get in trouble, you will have to go to jail for 30 days.
