How is this even possible? Aren't sentences supposed to come with the verdict?
The punishment might come at a later date (it might in my country where you can be told that in 3 months you will serve jail time), but the sentence?

But have can you delay a sentence?
I mean it sounds so foreign to be told in court that "Yeah you're deemed guilty.. but we're telling you your punishment later. Maybe." instead of just BAM guilty, straight to jail it will be!

Question from another European about that, he's convicted but never got a sentence? Or did he and why in that case isn't he serving?
