While everyone is supposed to get a speedy trial, justice sometimes moves slowly, and someone who has been arrested may end up spending time in jail awaiting their trial date. But once they have their trial, the court may decide that the time the person was already in jail is enough. This sometimes happens with relatively minor crimes. In such a situation, even though the person has been found guilty, the judge may sentence the defendant to "time served"-- in other words, the time the person spent in jail is long enough, and no additional jail time will be given.
