P. v. Williams
In this appeal, the People contend that the Superior Court improperly awarded certain conduct credits to respondent Richard Williams because the award of conduct credits was not authorized by any statute. Williams contends that the award of conduct credits was consistent with the policy of Tulare County at the time he was sentenced. Thus, according to Williams, not granting him the conduct credits, even if the award of conduct credits was not specifically authorized by statute, would be a violation of the ex post facto clauses of the federal and state Constitutions because he would be punished to a greater extent than other similarly situated defendants. For the following reasons, Court strike the award of conduct credits and remand for resentencing.
