What is a suspended sentence?
A suspended sentence is a sentence on conviction for a criminal offense, the serving of which the court orders to be deferred in order to allow the defendant to perform a period of probation. In this case, the period of probation is 2 years. So he cannot offend the law over the next 2 years.
