what is the sentence of time served in legal term?

The most common usage of the term is in criminal law, which is what I presume you are asking about.  Sometimes, as part of a plea bargain, the defendant will plead guilty and be sentenced to "time served".  In other words, the time that the person has already served in custody from the time of the arrest to the time of the plea bargain is sufficient punish for the crime.\n\nA sentence of "time served" means they are now eligible for release assuming they comply with any other terms of the plea bargain.

Depending on the amount and the circumstances, jail is in order. How long a sentence would depend on above, could be 20 to life.

It depends on the State and what type of crime you were a victim of.  For example - if you were  victim of sexual assault - you may have more time - but if it was a simple assault - you may only have one year.  In your example above - they most likely have a year - but a prosecuter is going to wonder why if they wait long to report it.  May only have a civil case after too long

Well the question cannot really be answered without knowing what the person involved was sentenced for.  Different crimes have different good time credit provisions.\n\nBut, assuming half time credits and assuming that none are lost for misbehaving in prison, the easiest way to figure it out (although will only give a ballpark estimate) is to take the 2 years, subtract the total credits mentioned above, then divide by 2.\nBall park estimate with above assumptions on credits and behavior would then be about 8 months more time to serve...

I believe what you are asking is about, the Statute of Limitations, and yes there is such a thing.  A basic answer as to what it is, is as follows:\n\n"A statute of limitations is a statute in a common law legal system setting forth the maximum period of time, after certain events, that legal proceedings based on those events may begin. In civil law systems, these provisions are usually part of the civil code or criminal code and are often known collectively as periods of prescription or prescriptive periods."\n\nBasicly, the period for which the Statute of Limitations is valid, varies from State to State and even Country to Country.  Depending on where you live you would need to find out the local laws.

It depends on which state you are in... a quick search on the web showed in the state of New Jersey there's a minimum of 25 days community service and a maximum of 90 days in jail.

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.

It depends on what the judge set at the trial.  It could be anywhere from 2-5 years.  You need to find out what time frame the judge gave.

Are you talking about credit for time served?  Or time for good behavior?  You would have to be more specific and state whether the offense was charged at the city/county level, the state level, or the federal level.  \n\nBased on my understanding of the so-called justice system, a judge may grant a defendant with credit for the time (i.e. each day) served in a facility after being charged.  Each judge, however, is different, some will stipulate that they don't count that time before a charge, or before being sentenced, so be sure to get a good look at the sentencing transcript.  Time that is not counted toward a sentence is considered to be "dead time."  Good time, is often a percentage taken off for good behavior, working, rehabilitation, employment, etc - unless you had the balls to go federal.  Then, you can look forward to doing all your time unless you get involved in some kind of incentive program.  It all just depends on the sentencing judge and what he has to say.  \n\nWill parole/probation be offered?  I like to think of parole as the opportunity to finish your time out in the real world while being 'babysa't by the government or 'court services.'  You're still doing time, but you're not behind the walls.  I hope this information helps you.  \n\nGood luck.

Not prison but up to 6 months in the jail in the county in which you are convicted, along with an extension of the loss of your liscence and as much as two grand in fines... for your first driving on a suspended offense, after that it gets worse.\nI am my roommates chauffeur because he lost his liscence for an extra year over exactly this issue and did 7 days in jail plus 3 months of house arrest... That was a joy, having the sheriff call several times a day and drop by at random 4 to 6 times a week to verify that he was where he was supposed to be.

likely some jail time, considering the amount in question.  since it's the 1st offense, i wouldn't say it's a significant am't of time.  restitution is a given, and probation thereafter...at least 18 mos.

there is no real average for this crime as it has many factors that govern sentencing. if the car was taken during the commission of another crime, if you  have prior convictions, was the car taken while the owner occupied the car, etc. If you average the time it usually comes out to about five to ten years in a state facility.

I don't know about time served calculations in Virginia but someone in the Virginia forum at http://www.prisontalk.com will know.

Depends on the state but it's a serious crime in every state.  In my state it's 10 to 40 years and if you're a good inmate you only have to serve 85 % of if.

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.

Fines and or up to 10 years for a first offense.\nPrison terms increase to 15, 20 and 25 years if there are aggravating circumstances (like using a false passport to run drugs or aid terrorism)
