Is there an error in the calculation of presentence conduct credit for a violent crime?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Sinohue, B261638 (Cal. App. 2016):

8. Sinohue correctly points out that the original abstract of judgment incorrectly stated he was entitled to 650 days of actual credit and 98 days of presentence conduct credit, whereas the correct calculation was 651 days of actual credit and 97 days of presentence conduct credit. (See People v. Valenti (2016) 243 Cal.App.4th 1140, 1184 [sections 288.5 and 288, subdivision (a) are violent felonies subject to a 15 percent conduct credit limitation].) We agree, and order the presentence conduct credit amount corrected accordingly.
