Task: Wrong Candidate Generation
Input (English): trial court told Kaylor that he was entitled, as a matter of law, to receive credit for the time served on his first offender sentence, and that the Department of Corrections controlled that calculation. On the resentencing forms, the court included the abbreviation “CTS,” which meant credit for time served when construed consistently with the trial court’s oral pronouncement of the sentence. Although Kaylor argues that the resentencing form also contained the phrase “above and beyond,” which has been disapproved of in some contexts, the court’s statements at the resentencing hearing sufficiently explained that Kaylor would receive credit for time previously served, and that the 20-year sentence was not in addition to the time previously served. See Roland, supra, 273 Ga. at 859 (2) (<HOLDING>). Compare McKinney v. State, 240 Ga. App. 812,

these factual and credibility findings are binding on a reviewing court unless the evidence in the record preponderates against them once the trial court has made its factual findings the next questionswhether the facts prove that the statement 1 was hearsay and 2 fits under one of the exceptions to the hearsay ruleare questions of law subject to de novo reviewif a statement is hearsay but does not fit one of the exceptions it is inadmissible and the court must exclude the statement but if a hearsay statement does fit under one of the exceptions the trial court may not use the hearsay rule to suppress the statement however the statement may otherwise run afoul of another rule of evidence  if a trial court excludes otherwise admissible hearsay on the basis of rule 401 402 or 403

dont want him around me or my children i dont trust himthe application also included the victims statement that the defendant had told her she was wrong for taking kt from him and that he could get the victim without  even having to touch her because he could get somebody else to get the victimthe trial court admitted the application pursuant to the forfeiture by wrongdoing exception to the
