Rose v. State
Annotate this CaseIn 1992, Appellant was incarcerated while awaiting the disposition of an allegation of first-degree child molestation. In 1994, Appellant pled nolo contendere to one count of first-degree child molestation. Appellant was sentenced to twenty years incarceration with twelve years suspended and twelve years probation. In 1997, Appellant was released from the Adult Correctional Institutions (ACI). Appellant completed his period of parole in 1999. In 2010, Appellant filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus and applied for postconviction relief, arguing that his probationary period should have commenced and ended fifteen months earlier because his credit for time served caused him to be released from prison that much sooner. The superior court denied relief, concluding that Appellant’s sentence began in 1994 and ran until 2014. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the hearing justice did not miscalculate the length of Appellant’s sentence.
