State v. J. Shewalter

September 9, 20252025 MT 202

Summary

The Montana Supreme Court held that the district court improperly denied credit for time served, correctly denied elapsed street‑time credit, and affirmed the finding that the defendant received ineffective assistance of counsel because no prejudice was shown. Accordingly, the court reversed the time‑served credit denial, affirmed the other rulings, and remanded for a factual determination of the disputed days of credit.
