    Suspended sentence
    I was charged with assault with a weapon a few months ago and my lawyer gave me the papers about my case and included in them was a paper saying what crown council wanted. They want me to get a "suspended sentence" can anyone tell me exactly what that is. And if it will be on my record forever. Or effect me in any way.

    A suspended sentence is a conviction but where you do not have to serve time in jail. The sentence is suspended and you are put on probation instead. As long as you don't violate probation you are fine, but if you do, you could be jailed for the balance of the sentence.

    It will go on your record as a conviction.
