Both defendants are entitled to precisely what Rule 3:21-8 provides: credits against all sentences “for any time served in custody in jail or in a state hospital between arrest and the imposition of sentence” on each case. The Rule must be consistently applied to promote uniformity in sentencing; there is no room for discretion in either granting or denying credits.
