What does imposed and stayed mean when it comes to a court sentence?

Imposed means exactly that. The sentence is effective immediately. \n\nStay is a bit more complex (in short the sentence is withheld until further actions are taken by some party)\n\nA court order is an official proclamation by a judge (or panel of judges) that defines the legal relationships between the parties before the court and requires or authorises the carrying out of certain steps by one or more parties to a case. It can be a simple as setting a date for trial or as complex as restructuring contractual relationships by and between many corporations in a multi-jurisdictional dispute (i.e. different states or countries). It may be a final order (one that concludes the court action), or an interim order (one during the action). Most orders are written, and are signed by the judge. Some orders, however, are spoken orally by the judge in open court, and are only reduced to writing in the transcript of the proceedings.

It means they have been ordered to serve time in a penal institution (prison or jail) and there has been an order of commitment for that person to go there issued by the court.\n\nBasically, someone is going to do some time somewhere and that is the paperwork necessary to authorize the place to hold them.

Don't know the maximum and in any event it will vary from country to country (so in some parts of the world it's probably life).  The minimum could be whatever the Judge decides.  A friend of mine was sentenced for not paying his car tax - his sentence was to wait in the courtroom until the Magistrates reconvened after lunch - about an hour (not technically a jail sentence tho).

First of all with probation and a suspended sentence the case is not "closed".\nIf the person commits a crime that the probation officer WANTS to hold against them (Violation) then a number of things can happen. It depends on the seriousness of the new crime too. \nThe person could have their probation extended. The person could do the time left on their probation in prison. The person could also do not only the time time left on their probation in prison BUT the suspended time may be included too. \nA "reversal" means just that. They want to take away the probation because said person fucked up. It must of been bad to begin with and the crime committed AFTER probation must of been serious.\nUsually a person gets one shot DEPENDING on the offense committed. \nTell the person on probation to chill out and get a grip on life.\nOr else get used to sending your buddy commissary money!\nIf YOUR the offender line up people to send you commissary money!

Suspended is a period of jail time that would be suspended for a period of time for probation.  Ex. Joe gets sentenced to 12 months with 2 months suspended, he has 10 months to serve.  The other 2 months are suspended for 2 years as long as he doesn't violate any laws & completes probation.\n\nTime Served:  Joe had a DUI.  He could not make bail before his court date.  He has been in jail for 3 months.  His trial date he is convicted & sentenced to 3 months in jail.  He get released from jail because he's served his time.

If a judge has ordered them to remain in the state, then they can't leave.  Otherwise, as long as they show up in court at the appointed time, they can go to the moon and back, for all the judge cares.

Adjudication Withheld - Non-conviction.\n\nThe court does not give a final judgment regarding the case. The defendant is given probation, a program or community service in which they have a specified amount of time to complete. If the defendant complies, the case may be dismissed, depending on the county/state. If they do not dismiss in that particular county/state, then the disposition remains adjudication withheld and the case is closed. However, if the defendant is found in violation, the case disposition may be changed and the defendant can be found in guilt.

The following occurs a bit more frequently. A defendant is arrested for a crime, and doesn't make bail. While awaiting trial, the defendant serves more time than is possible as a maximum sentence for the offense charged.

Bondsmen have a blanket bond with a court that acts as surety for defendants they bail. When the defendant gets the bond, he signs an agreement that he will appear at court when he is supposed to and that the bondsman can force him to appear. Most jurisdictions further specifically allow bondsmen to seize defendents to force them to appear.

Suspended Sentences \n\n"Sometimes a defendant's prison sentence is "suspended." A suspended sentence is jail or prison time that is put on hold if the defendant complies with certain other obligations, for example, the conditions of probation or the completion of a drug treatment program. Under a suspended sentence, the judge has authority to order the defendant to serve the sentence without first holding a trial, provided that the prosecution or probation department is able to show that the defendant violated the condition that led to the sentence being suspended in the first place."

Deferred sentence means that the judge has agreed to put off issuing a final ruling. If you follow all of the rules of your probation, etc., he will simply dismiss the charges, so you will not have a conviction on your record at all.

It is when you are not arrested for your alleged crime.  An officer writes you a ticket and allows you to return to court on your court date.  It all depends on your condition and your attitude if they will cite and release.

They can have you serve the time at any point if you've already been convicted/pled.  Statue of limitations only prevent a case from being tried, nothing else.  Since the trial already occured statue of limitations have no bearing on the situation.

Well, sometimes a court will suspend a prison sentence if the defendant pays restitution to the victim. The bigger problem with this matter is that the violation of any criminal statute is an offense against the state. The victim's position is irrelevant to the extent that the sentencing requirements are provided by law. By the same token, a very angry victim may want the defendant to go to jail for life, but if the law does not provide for life imprisonment for the convicted offense, the victim will be unhappy with the sentence.
