Description

William George Eutzy was sentenced to 3 to 5 years imprisonment for forgery. Prior to sentencing he spent 135 days in confinement because he was unable to post bond. At the time sentence was imposed the trial court stated: ""The court further states that the time you have spent in custody in connection with this, awaiting trial in this case, was considered in passing this sentence and no credit will be given to you for that time."" The commitment order also provides: ""The time defendant spent in custody awaiting trial was considered by this Court in passing sentence."" Section 83-1,106, R. R. S. 1943, as amended, provides that at the time of sentencing the District Court may give a prisoner credit against the maximum term and any minimum term for time spent in custody prior to trial, during trial, and pending sentence. Eutzy commenced this action to obtain a declaration that section 83-1,106, R. R. S. 1943, was unconstitutional as in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the state and federal Constitutions.
