What is a suspended sentence?
Huw Edwards was given a six-month prison sentence but Judge Paul Goldspring suspended the custodial element for two years. That means that provided Edwards complies with requirements imposed by the judge and, crucially, does not reoffend, he will not be jailed.
Could Edwards have received a harsher sentence?
Definitely. Judge Goldspring could have imposed an immediate custodial sentence on Edwards. However, because the case was heard in the magistrates’ courts, the maximum length of jail sentence would have been six months.
