ACD, SIS, SES, and PBJ?

Question

I need some help understanding the differences:

ACD : Adjournment in contemplation of dismissal
SIS : Suspended imposition of sentence
SES : Suspended execution of sentence
PBJ : Probation before judgment

I just need a few questions answered about these deferred sentences.

1)  Have I actually plead guilty to anything?
2)  What's on my record as a result of the above?
3)  Will records exist even though I've completed the orders for the particular DS?
4)  Should I have any existing records expunged (arrest records, for example)?
5)  Are there any other deferred sentences that you know of?

I'd simply like to know what the exact differences and advantages/disadvantages of each of these DS's are.  I've never seen this fully explained and it very well could help lots of people for more reasons than just didacticism.

1) You have not entered a plea.

2) Your record will only have innocent or guilty judgements against you. It may also have complete transcripts of the trial.

3) It can be expunged by the judge or it may have ajudge stipulated time if you do violate the order where it is removed from your records.

4) Depends on the the case on the serverity or relevance to current case. A lawyer would be best to answer this after consulting. It may cost to mush to expunge for the value.

5) Only deffered sentences I have heard are for time to get you affairs in order, a family emergency (like death, or birth). Or time to meet certain requirements set by the judge like community service, or paying a fine.

5 x 4 = 20 x differences x  advantages x disadvantages = 60 questions! Very, very good! Didactically speaking, CONGRATULATIONS!

If the order of answering matters, it is 5 factorial x 4 factorial x 3 factorial = 120 x 24 x 6 = 17,280 questions. Just truly OUTSTANDING, dude!

Does this fully explain why it hasn't been fully explained?
