Adjourned in sentencing refers to the postponement of a sentencing hearing to a later date. This can occur for various reasons, such as allowing time for the preparation of a pre-sentence report, gathering additional evidence, or facilitating plea negotiations. During this period, the defendant may remain free on bail or under certain conditions, depending on the court's discretion. Ultimately, the adjournment aims to ensure that the sentencing process is thorough and fair.
