PEOPLE v. RAVAUX
Trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea where defendant during plea hearing indicated numerous times orally and in writing that he understood the consequences of the guilty plea and the rights he was waiving; attested in writing that he was sober and his judgment was not impaired, and did not evidence by his demeanor or medical condition that he was confused to the point of impaired judgment; and consulted with counsel prior to and was represented by counsel at the hearing where he entered the plea and assented to its terms. Under Penal Code Sec. 2900.5(a), which provides that anyone convicted of a felony is entitled to credit against his term of imprisonment for time spent in custody prior to sentencing, a defendant is not in custody prior to being processed into a jail, camp, work furlough facility, halfway house, rehabilitation facility, hospital, prison, juvenile detention facility, or similar residential institution. Trial court awarded correct number of custody credits to defendant by calculating credits beginning at the time he was booked into jail and excluding one additional day of custody credit for time he spent in police custody prior to his official booking.
