"Probation is not the same as a suspended sentence."

It most certainly is a suspended sentence. It is the suspension of a sentence (in whole or part) conditional to compliant behavior under a probation officer's supervision. IOW, the prison sentence is held in abeyance, just like any other type of sentence suspension.

I am at a loss about why some of these people, despite being told the facts of this case and the law, are still on here posting misinformation!
