"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.
