Stayed: If the charge is "stayed" by the judge, this means the present proceedings are suspended. It is not a finding of innocence, simply a stopping of the prosecution at a particular point. The proceedings can be started again in the future if certain events occur (for example, new evidence is found).

A stay occurs after a judge issues a ruling. Now let's say the ruling tells person A they cannot be within 50 feet of person B. A stay issued either by the discretion of the judge who issued the ruling or a higher court such as a circuit or supreme court will effectively stop the ruling from happening. Now if a higher court issued a stay on this order then person A can come within 50 feet of person B.

What does it mean when in court they say stay granted?

When a stay is granted, that usually means that proceedings in the lower courts are halted until the court granting the stay considers the issues being appealed. Most stays last only a few days and the granting of a stay does not indicate the court's eventual decision. Granting a stay simply gives a court some time to review the matter.Short Version: In the legal context, a stay is a court order preventing further action until a future event occurs, or the order is lifted.

How long does a stay in legal terms last?

The length of a stay in legal terms can vary depending on the context. For example, a stay of execution in criminal proceedings temporarily postpones the implementation of a death sentence.
