A quick definition of sentenced to time served:

SENTENCED TO TIME SERVED: When someone is found guilty of a crime and sent to jail, they may be released early if they have already spent enough time in custody. This is called being sentenced to time served. It means that the person has served their sentence and can go free. It's like getting credit for the time they've already spent in jail.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Sentenced to time served is a legal term used when a criminal defendant is sentenced to jail but is given credit for the time they have already spent in custody. This results in the defendant's release from jail.

Example: John was arrested for theft and spent 30 days in jail before his trial. At his trial, he was sentenced to 30 days in jail. However, since he had already served 30 days, he was released from jail immediately after the trial. This is an example of being sentenced to time served.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a defendant can be released from jail immediately after their trial if they have already served the same amount of time they were sentenced to. This is a common practice in the criminal justice system to ensure that defendants are not punished more than necessary.
