GELIS v. STATE

No. 72-565.

287 So.2d 368 (1973)

Charles Arthur GELIS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

December 12, 1973.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

W. Daniel Kearney, Asst. Public Defender, Bradenton, for appellant.

Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and David Luther Woodward, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Since this court decided Miles v. State, Fla.App.2d 1968, 214 So.2d 101 and Albury v. State, Fla.App.2d 1971, 246 So.2d 141, it has become clear that one sentenced to a maximum term must be given credit for time spent in jail awaiting trial where the pre-trial detention was a consequence of the prisoner's indigency. Hart v. Henderson, 5th Cir.1971, 449 F.2d 183
