People v. Carranza

Opinion

RICCIARDULLI, Acting P. J.—

I. INTRODUCTION

The trial courts in these consolidated appeals applied defendants’ custody credits to the total fines imposed, which included base fines and penalty assessments, rather than solely to the base fines. This resulted in defendants owing greater amounts, and requiring they spend more time in custody and perform more community service, to satisfy their fines than if the courts had applied their credits only toward the base fines. As discussed below, we reverse and remand for recalculation of the credits.
