Anderson v. State
Annotate this CaseMichael Anderson, a convicted sex offender, was placed on electric monitoring and home supervision while on probation. After the district court revoked Anderson's probation, the court reinstated the prison terms. Anderson did not receive sentencing credit for the time he lived at home. Anderson filed an application for postconviction relief seeking such credit. The district court denied Anderson' application, concluding the statutory scheme only provided sentencing credit for time spent in a jail-like facility. The court of appeals affirmed. On review, the Supreme Court vacated the decision of the court of appeals and reversed the district court order denying credit, holding that the plain language of Iowa Code 907.3(3) requires credit for the time Anderson was committed to electronic monitoring and home supervision during his probation. Remanded.
