Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland

Delayed Jail Sentence

I have been following a case where the original incident took place 6 years ago. The defendant has just recently been charged and found guilty. He received 5 years jail time but was given three months before he has to turn himself in. Is this because of special circumstances such as family, work.....
