State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. William R. Joe, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that a defendant incarcerated out of state on charges unrelated to New Jersey offenses is not entitled to jail credit under Rule 3:21-8. The Court reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the trial‑court sentence, emphasizing that credit applies only when confinement is attributable to New Jersey charges.
