A: Your husband's actual time served in prison will depend on various factors, including the specific sentencing guidelines, any potential parole or probation arrangements, and his behavior while incarcerated. The credit time of 372 days means that he has already served that amount of time and may receive credit towards his sentence. To determine the exact time he will spend in prison, you should consult with an attorney or the relevant authorities who can provide accurate information based on the specific details of his case.
