§ 50-107. Suspension of sentence; effect of subsequent conviction.

Latest version.

Upon trial and conviction before the municipal court, the judge in his discretion may after the imposition of a sentence suspend all or any part of such sentence and the judge may, even after the sentence has begun to run, change, modify or cancel the unserved time or remit the fine, or part thereof, if he believes the defendant is entitled to such change, modification or cancellation. If during the period for which a sentence has been suspended, the defendant is found guilty of another offense in the same or another section of the municipal court, the judge who has tried him on the second offense may reinstate the sentence which was suspended in the first instance in addition to the imposing of the sentence for the second offense.
