California v. G.H.
Annotate this CaseDefendant-appellant G.H. appealed a trial court order correcting a previous order awarding defendant precommitment custody credits for time served against his three-year commitment to Patton State Hospital pursuant to Penal Code1 section 1368 et seq. On appeal, defendant argued that: (1) section 1370, subdivision (a)(3)(C), mandated the trial court to deduct defendant's precommitment custody credits from the maximum term of commitment; and (2) the denial of precommitment custody credits based upon the level of crime alleged violates a defendant's rights to due process and equal protection. The Court of Appeal rejected defendant's contentions and affirmed the judgment.
