P. v. Allison
Defendant Dennis Malcolm Allison pled no contest to a charge of failing to register as a sex offender. On appeal, he contends that he is entitled to additional credit for presentence confinement by virtue of amendments to the governing statute which took effect on October 1, 2011, 30 days before defendant was sentenced. He contends that despite the statute’s declaration that it applies to crimes occurring after its effective date, it must be construed to apply to all confinement occurring after that date, whenever the underlying crime occurred. Respondent, on the other hand, contends that the trial court overstated defendant’s credits by including time during which defendant was at large on his own recognizance. We reject both contentions and affirm the judgment.
