Jackson v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District
Jan 3, 1991
572 So. 2d 31 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1991)

Opinion

No. 90-318.

January 3, 1991.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Putnam County; E.L. Eastmoore, Judge.

James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and Michael S. Becker, Asst. Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and James N. Charles, Asst. Atty. Gen., Daytona Beach, for appellee.


Jackson appeals that portion of a sentence imposed as a credit for time served because the trial judge only credited him with 431 days when he served 527 days.

The state does not challenge that Jackson was shortchanged on time served, but rather contends the issue is moot because Jackson has been released. However, the record does not support this contention and we cannot consider it on appeal. In re Burton's Estate, 45 So.2d 873 (Fla. 1950); Hastings v. Hastings, 45 So.2d 115 (Fla. 1950); Allen v. Largo, 39 So.2d 549 (Fla. 1949).

Sections 921.161(1) and (2) require that a defendant be credited with all time served in county jail including that time spent between sentencing and being placed in the custody of the Department of Corrections. Because Jackson was shortchanged by 93 days, we reverse and remand to the trial court with directions to correct Jackson's sentence. In all other respects, Jackson's sentence is affirmed.

REVERSED and REMANDED with directions.

DAUKSCH and COBB, JJ., concur.
