Commonwealth v. Ridge
Annotate this CaseIn 2007, Defendant pleaded guilty to certain offenses in the superior court in Norfolk County. In 2008, Defendant pleaded guilty to a charge of unarmed robbery in the superior court in Plymouth County. Defendant was sentenced to a term of imprisonment, concurrent with the sentence in the Norfolk County case, which he was then serving. In 2013, Defendant moved to correct the mittimus as to the Plymouth County case, requesting credit for the time he was detained while awaiting trial. The superior court denied the motion on the ground that the time at issue had already been credited against Defendant’s sentence in the Norfolk County case and that Defendant had benefited from the concurrent sentences. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed, holding that, under the circumstances, the motion judge was not obligated to grant Defendant’s request.
