Time that may be passed? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sentence

I believe this is a double definition.

'time' is the first definition.
('time' can refer to a prison sentence)

'passed?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'that may be' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sentence that I've seen before include "Writing piece" , "expressed in a few words" , "must come to a stop!" , "Court decision on a grammatical structure" , "Words - said by judge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
