COMMONWEALTH v. Anthony WILLIAMS.
Instead, “[f]airness is the basic touchstone, and is the appropriate measure in determining whether and to what extent ... credit for the time spent in custody should be given.” Commonwealth v. Harvey, 66 Mass.App.Ct. 297, 300 (2006) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). See id. at 299–302 (defendant not entitled to 532 days jail credit for time spent awaiting trial on restraining order violation where that time had already been credited to a sentence for an unrelated statutory rape).
