hello
Hi there! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
In Pennsylvania if someones sentenced was modified to 2 years and 6 months Credit for Time Served */*/*-*/*/* and */*/*-present. when would this individual be released this all counts from August 19th *
To calculate the release date, let's break it down:
- Sentence: 2 years and 6 months from August *, *.
- Credit for Time Served:
- */*/* - */*/* (14 days)
- */*/* - Present (let's assume this is calculated till today for simplicity, 20 months approximately).
So, the total credit time is around 20 months and 14 days.
Subtracting this from the 2 years and 6 months sentence:
- 2 years and 6 months = 30 months.
- 30 months - 20 months and 14 days = 9 months and 16 days.
Starting from August *, *, the release date would be approximately 9 months and 16 days later, around June *, *.
Would you like any further assistance with this?
