EJL Attorney Argues Case at Oregon Supreme Court

Senior Associate Attorney Jedediah Peterson argued a case before the Oregon Supreme Court that addressed the authority of a trial court to allow credit for time served. The question in State ex rel. Torres-Lopez v. Fahrion (S071194) is whether a trial court can order credit for time served on a sentence when the adult in custody has already received credit for that time on another sentence. Oral argument was held on February 27, 2025. The case is now under advisment and we are awaiting a decision from the court.
