38 months sentenced


When Lindsay was found guilty of peverting the course the judge sentenced her to 38 months incarceration. She the proceeded to say that as Lindsay had served that long already she was free to go!
How has she served over three years already, when Steve said to Dot that he had been partnered with Kate for three years??

The judge said Lindsay had served the custodial portion of the sentence. Usually someone serves half the sentence and then gets let out on licence for good behaviour. So Lindsay served 19 months. She also said a few times it was a certain number of days that matched this period.

556 days, I think, which works out at 18.5 months.

She wasn’t free. She got credit for time served, and then she was out on license to serve the remainder of the 36 months
