Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland
A person is out on bail for 365 days before a trial. At the hearing, this person receives a 5-year sentence with all suspended but 5 years probation. Technically, since the person is in the custody of the state during the time that he is out on bail, could that be used as credit for time already served?

A person is not considered to be in custody while on bail.
An experienced criminal defense attorney can help you evaluate the prosecution's case, any defenses that you might have, and any plea offer that might be made, so that you can decide whether to go to trial. Consider seeking a confidential consultation.
