Can a CRV period exceed a defendant’s suspended sentence?
No. Because a defendant gets jail credit for CRV, the CRV period may be no longer than his or her suspended sentence. For example, the longest permissible CRV period for a misdemeanant with a 45-day suspended sentence is 45 days, even though G.S. 15A-1344(d2) says the CRV period for a misdemeanor may be “up to 90 days.”
