Sentencing
Fines
Defendant, convicted of forgery, appealed from sentence, claiming that he was shorted five days of credit against his five-year prison term, and that court failed to give him monetary credit against his fines. Per official DOC website, DOC is giving Defendant credit for eight days, and there is no reason to believe that Defendant has been denied the days of credit he seeks. Defendant is entitled to monetary credit against his fines, for the period of time prior to sentencing; monetary credit for time spent in custody after finding of guilt is limited to the period between verdict and sentencing. (MYERSCOUGH and POPE, concurring.)
