P. v. Delagarza
Defendant Theo Delagarza is serving three years in local custody after pleading guilty to assaulting a man with a knife and violating probation twice. Defendant argues he is entitled to pre-sentence conduct credits because, although he initially waived the right to receive them as part of the initial plea bargain, the trial court later altered the terms of his probation to allow for conduct credits if he successfully completed the Inroads program in county jail. We conclude that defendant is not entitled to the conduct credits because, although he completed the Inroads program, he violated his probation only a day after his release, and thus defeated the entire objective of the agreement under which he was to receive the conduct credits.
