It needs to be analyzed according to the situation, and the time is not necessarily. A certain trial period shall be set for criminals who should be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, which is higher than or equal to the original sentence. However, the probation period cannot exceed 5 years at the longest. If the defendant sentenced to probation has not committed other crimes or found other crimes committed before, and there is no other violation of the probation provisions, the original judgment will not be executed after the probation period expires. Otherwise, the suspended sentence will be revoked and the original sentence will be executed. Article 72 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC)
Legal objectivity:
Article 72 of China's criminal law stipulates: "A criminal sentenced to criminal detention or fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years may be suspended if he does not endanger society again according to the circumstances of the crime and the performance of repentance. A suspended sentence must meet the following conditions at the same time: first, a criminal sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention. Second, it depends on whether criminals have real repentance, whether they sincerely repent and turn over a new leaf. Only those who sincerely repent and turn over a new leaf can apply probation. Thirdly, according to the defendant's criminal circumstances, the application of probation will not harm the society again, which is also the most difficult factor to grasp in practice and the most prone to problems. Whether the probation can harm the society again depends on comprehensive analysis, review and judgment. Fourth, criminals must not be recidivists. Article 74 of the Criminal Law stipulates that probation is not applicable to recidivists. Whether probation can be applied must be analyzed according to the specific case, and it is recommended to consult a professional criminal lawyer in detail. In this process, we should beware of some good-hearted people asking for money from their families in the name of dredging relationships.
