Should he get credit for time served in jail?
Ok, this is very complicated. My husband has been in jail since Nov.27th. He had 2 charges, 1st was a dui charge with our county and 2nd was a failure to appear on driving on suspended license with our city. Ok... we have one metro jail in our county and all cities within our county all use one jail; there's a city side and a county side. So... he has been sitting on the county side for 44 days and today I finally got the money to post bond for that case. He was moved to the city side of the jail. He will appear in court on Tuesday, Jan. 12th for his city case, the fta on driving on suspendid. I have now heard that the city will only give him credit for the 2 days that he has been on there side of the jail. I thought he would get 46 days credit for the entire time he's been there since this is the same jail. I know it's complicated but I'm wondering if anyone else knows anything about this? Should he get full credit or only 2 days credit. I am so hoping he will get credit and be released with time served since this is normally a 30 day sentence.. max... Thanks!
