How have the sentencing transcript, report of the probation officer and sentencing transcript been reviewed by the Attorney General?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Jones, A143249 (Cal. App. 2016):

With one partial exception (seen fn. 2, ante), the sentencing transcript and the report of the probation officer shed no light on the matters mentioned by the Attorney General. As these are fact-intensive matters, we elect not to preempt the trial court's initial review of them. (Cf. People v. Fares (1993) 16 Cal.App.4th 954, 956-957 ["this is the sort of determination trial courts are in the best position to make, aided by their administrative support including the probation department"], 958 ["If a dispute arises as to the correct calculation of credit days, such should be presented . . . 'for resolution to the court which imposed the sentence and which has ready access to the information necessary to resolve the dispute.' "].)
