Possibly, if you have been in custody for three years, then you are sentenced to ten years, you may only need to serve only years. However, as with most things related to sentencing, the decision ultimately belongs to the judge.

Why is there more to risk at a criminal trial than at a civil trial?
If found guilty at a criminal trial it can lead to having to serve jail or prison time and will result in your getting a lifelong criminal record which can affect MANY aspects of your future life. Being found guilty at a civil trial carries no jail or prison time and although it can result in a monetary fine or forfeiture of property, it bears no lifelong record to cause you problems in the future.

What does 'walk on time served' mean?
It could mean someone who is concerned with the release of a prisoner (letting them "walk" is like saying they are released from prison). "Time served" means the time that someone has already spent in jail while they are waiting for their trial, going through appeals, etc. So, in general it sounds like someone who is concerned that a prisoner would be released after serving only the time in prison that he or she served before or while going through the trial process, and not be punished further.
