Yes, a person can be sentenced to serve time in jail even if adjudication is withheld. In such cases, the court may impose a sentence, but the formal finding of guilt is not entered, allowing the individual to avoid a criminal record if they successfully complete the terms set by the court. This approach is often used for first-time offenders or for less serious offenses. However, the specifics can vary by jurisdiction.

Does Adjudication Withheld for a misdemeanor mean you have to go to jail or have probhation?

Hi! No this does not mean you have to go to jail. You might depending on the charges, but for most misdemeanor charges probation will suffice. When it happened to me, I was on probation for 2 weeks, until I fulfilled my requirements given by the judge (a class for the crime I committed).


What needs to be done to get a felony expunged?

Each state is different. In the state of Florida the adjudication of guilt MUST be withheld. After you have completed your sentence, whether it be probation or jail time, you will be eligible to apply to have your record sealed. If you would like it expunged the state attorney's office must sign off on it.


If you were court ordered to enter drug diversion instead of jail time does that mean that you have been convicted of those charges?

What happens to deferred adjudication if you violate and go to jail?

It goes away. You violated it and you will serve the remainder of the sentence for your conviction (or at least a portion of it), while incarcerated. If you violated it by committing another crime, you could, in addition, also face separate charges and court action for THAT offense as well.

What does court imposed but stayed mean?

It means that the court has come top some conclusion (perhaps a finding of guilt and imposed a sentence).
