Washington v. Jones
Annotate this CaseDefendant Cliff Jones challenged the trial court's denial of credit toward his sentence of community custody for the time he spent incarcerated in excess of his amended sentence of incarceration. After affirming the trial court's decision, the appeals court expressly declined to follow a sister division's holding that community custody began at completion of a sentence of confinement; an offender is entitled to credit toward a sentence of community custody for time spent incarcerated. Upon review, the Supreme Court disavowed the lower court's holding regarding credit, and affirmed the appellate division that heard Defendant's case.
