State v. Eric L.

Summary

The court held that a trial court has authority to direct the commissioner of correction to apply specified presentence confinement credit on a judgment mittimus. It also held that the defendant could potentially receive credit beginning when the probation violation warrant was signed, because he was not serving another sentence during the disputed period and the statute did not preclude credit before service of the warrant. The case was remanded for the trial court to exercise its discretion regarding the credit.
