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"
A suspended sentence
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.
A suspended sentence is a sentence that is held in abeyance and is not activated. When a suspended sentence is revoked that sentence is then activate. Example: Sentence is 10 years with 7 years suspended. A person would only do 3 years. There is usually conditions set by the court to keep this sentence suspended. If those conditions are not met, the judge can then revoke the suspended sentence and the defendant would have to complete the full 10 years.
