Q: What form do you file when judge takes away surved time and awarded time for programs surved days after sentencing
No sentence modification was filed for defendant or by state, 118 actual surved day and 180 awarded for rehabilitation programs in jail completed how do we get it back or reverse the modification after sentencing. The judge originally gave correct actually days in sentencing but 5 days later amended sentence and took 82 days credit away
A:
It is not clear what you are asking from the question above.
I have yet to find a judge unwilling to give credit for actual time served in the jail. I would recommend you speak with an attorney directly about the calculation of the served time, the good time credit days for this offense, and the local court's practice of awarding time for programs.
