In Virginia courts, "defer" typically refers to the postponement of a court case or the deferment of a sentence. When a judge defers a case, it may be rescheduled for a later date, allowing the parties involved more time to prepare or for additional developments to occur. In the context of sentencing, a deferred sentence means that the judge may delay the imposition of a sentence, often contingent on the defendant meeting certain conditions, such as completing a rehabilitation program.
