People v. Wells

This case presents question as to whether trial court properly denied defendant’s request for additional 166 days of sentencing credit for time spent while he was on pre-trial GPS monitoring program prior to entering into negotiated guilty plea that did not include such credit in agreed upon sentence, and where record did not affirmatively indicate that defendant had agreed to forego said credit. Appellate Court, in affirming trial court, held that defendant had waived his right to receive all presentence credit that he was entitled to when he entered into fully negotiated guilty plea agreement, and that defendant could not reap benefit of his bargain via plea agreement and then turn to trial court to obtain essentially lesser sentence.
