Buffalo Creek Law Dog Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Your court sentences are different than ours north of the 49th. Bill Cosby was sentenced to 3 to 10 years in state prison. Does that mean he will serve 3 years before being eligible for parole and that the remaining 7 years means that he is eligible for parole but, if he isn't granted parole during that time, he will serve the full 10 years? Up here a sentence would be for example, say 15 years and not eligible for parole for 10 years. Are we basically saying the same thing but, with different wording? Just curious on how to interpret your sentencing system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 It's different State by State. State systems are different from the Federal system. Usually they serve at least the minimum portion of the sentence, but it could be less with credit for "time spent," or "good time." In some States you can earn good time by not be written up in prison. If there are multiple counts, sometimes the penalty is order to run concurrent with other charges or consecutive with other charges. Judges and attorney usually argue quite about about sentencing guideline. I'm from Michigan so not sure on Pennsylvania law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
