P. v. Dupre
While on probation in case No. S03CRF0344 (No. 0344), defendant John Ellis Dupre IV was remanded into custody where he remained from January 3, 2007, through December 20, 2007 (i.e., 352 days), for probation violations in case No. 0344 and new criminal offenses in case No. S07CRF0003 (No. 0003). A subsequent probation violation resulted in termination of probation and execution of a previously stayed two-year prison sentence. The trial court denied defendants request for an award of dual custody credits in case Nos. 0344, 0003 and S07CRF0320 (No. 0320) for the 352-day period, concluding defendant was not entitled to dual credit because he was in custody on separate matters during the time period in question. Defendant sought relief by informal letter to the trial court, to no avail.
