I copied that straight from the MET website. It is a bit vague though

The verdict is the decision "guilty or not guilty" (in some courts, other verdicts are possible).

The sentence is the punishment imposed as a result of a guilty verdict.

A conviction exists when the verdict is "guilty" but not when the verdict is "not guilty."

So, the jury might return a verdict of "guilty" when you are tried for murder. You are therefore convicted of murder and you may be sentenced to life in prison.

So you can't have a conviction without a sentence, so I can only presume that the wording is correct, and if you do a stretch of 3 or more years, then you're S.O.O.L
