A 10 year sentence with 7 years suspended means that the individual would serve 3 years in prison immediately, and the remaining 7 years would not be served unless the individual violates the terms of their probation during the suspended period. If no violations occur during the suspended period, the individual may avoid serving the full 10 years in prison.

Can I have a marijuana misdemeanor with a one year suspended sentence transfered from Alabama to California?

Not enough info. Are you on probation? Was the sentence suspended simply on the promise that you not re-offend within a given amount of time? Do you have any residence requirement or travel restriction connected with the suspended sentence? Need to know this info before a knowledgeable answer can be given. Best suggestion: contact the court that sentenced you and ask them.

It depends on the context of the sentence. If the sentence showed possesive form/year+is of the word year, for example, "This year's 2011." If it is plural form of year, example "He has been my friend for years." then there is no apostrophe.
