Can a court order Defendant to serve time for violating parole by possessing methamphetamine?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Johnston, G055347 (Cal. App. 2018):
As to the third potential issue, counsel argues that under People v. Armogeda (2015) 233 Cal.App.4th 428, the trial court could not order Defendant to serve jail time for violating parole by means of a nonviolent drug offense (here, possession of methamphetamine). The issue is moot because, while Defendant was ordered to serve 120 days in jail, he was given 120 days of credit.
