Is there any error by the trial court in failing to award presentence credits beginning on the date of the crime?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Gonzalez, F077488 (Cal. App. 2020):
error by the trial court in failing to award him presentence credits beginning on the date of the crime. In response, the People argue that because defendant was already in custody on another matter when he committed the assault, the assault was not the "'but for' cause" of his confinement for the period of time between the commission of the assault in this case and his arraignment.4 (People v. Bruner (1995) 9 Cal.4th 1178, 1193-1194.)
