What does it mean when someone is sentenced to 2 year midterm. How long will they remain in prison?

Midterm means they got the mid level sentence for their crime. A two year midterm, means the crime probably carries 16 months/2years/3 years, known as "16, 2, and 3..."\nThey probably signed a plea bargain agreement stipulating no more than 2 years.\nDepending on the state you live in, the amount of time to serve varies. In CA, you will do a little over half of the sentenced time, about 13 months in state prison (less if they have county jail credits)\nIf your friend has any "strikes" , i.e. previous violent felonies, they will do 80 or 85% of the sentenced time, again this is in the California system.\nHope this helps!

The Constitution set the term for a Congressman at 2 years so every two years, the whole House must be re-elected.  Senators serve for 6 years and their elections were split into thirds so 1/3 of the Senators has to run every two years.  It helps to keep a balance between stable administration and allow the people to express their concerns on a regular basis.

It will be 8 years of prison unless there are provisions that would allow the inmate to be released sooner for good behavior.  If the person is release early, they would be paroled and can be returned to serve the full 8 years if they violate their parole.

This depends on the state you are in and the judge that you get. There is a range of sentences, and it varies by state.

You may end up serving the full term.  If your probation was for 2 years, you may serve 2 years in prison since you violated your terms of probation.  If additional charges are filed, you may serve more time.

A student on an NCAA college sports team who was kept out of competition for a year in order to prolong his or her eligibility.\n\nIn other words, they are probably a sophomore, but are considered a freshman by the NCAA in that they still have 4 years of eligibility.

"Congressmen" is another term for members of the U.S. House of Representatives.  All representatives are elected for 2-year terms, with elections held in November during the even-number years.\n\nU.S. senators, on the other hand, are elected to 6-year terms.  The terms are staggered so that every 2 years, roughly a third of the senate seats have elections.  These elections are held at the same time as the congressional elections.\n\nSometimes if someone resigns in the middle of a term, there will be a special election to replace him/her.  Those special elections can be any time and in any year.

Once convicted and sentenced they should be sent to the 'hard core' prisons, not the 'country club' prisons that most who have been sent away go to. That certainly would set a terrific example to any politician contemplating\ncorruption.

I've always been of the understanding that a deferred sentence means that; if a person is found guilty of an offence they can be sentenced to say one year in prison deferred for a period of two years. And what that means is that if during that period of two years (the probationary period) no further offence is committed, the one year sentence will not be applied. Converseley, if within that two year period a further offence is committed then the original sentence is automatically added to whatever sentence is given for the later conviction.\n\nSo. If Mr Smith steals a car and is found guilty of the crime, he is sentenced to one year in prison deferred for two years. If in that two years he is found guilty of stealing a second car and is sentenced to one year in prison for that crime, he will go to prison for two years. If in the same two years he doesn't steal another car or commit any other offence, he doesn't go to prison at all.\n\nIGNORE THE ABOVE\n\nSorry young lady I got this wrong. I was confusing deferred conviction with suspended sentencing. They are similar but not the same. I checked with one of my colleagues today and the definition you are looking for is as follows:\n\n'Deferred adjudication is available in some jurisdictions for certain offenses. It often involves probation, treatment programs, and/or some type of community supervision. If all the conditions of probation are met for the allotted time handed down by the court, the offender can avoid a formal sentence, and in some jurisdictions, no permament record of the crime will be made. Typically, at the end of the probationary period the charge will be dismissed and no record of conviction will result. Deferred adjudication may be available to eligible defendants upon recommendation by the prosecutor or at the discretion of the court'.\n\nSorry for the error. Slight difference between UK law and US law. I Hope I didn't cause you too much inconvenience.\n\nMy apologies also to the person who posted first and then withdrew after I posted. His answer was nearer to being correct than my first effort was.

The person is supposed to serve at least 25 years in prison. That's the minimum if they behave perfectly. For everything they do wrong, that is against prison rules, they get more time added on and can possibly spend the rest of their life in prison.

Perjury is lying to a jury/judge.  I believe it is 2-5 years.
