Solution

The statement that is not true about a discharge sentence is: "A punishment is given as part of the sentence." In a discharge sentence, the accused is found guilty but is deemed not convicted. Therefore, no punishment is given as part of the sentence. Instead, the accused could be placed on a period of probation with conditions. Depending on the type of discharge (absolute or conditional), it may or may not result in a criminal record.
