[2025] KEHC 7798 (KLR)

The court found that, upon reviewing the trial record and its own previous judgment, the time spent by the applicant in remand custody had already been considered during resentencing. Therefore, the applicant's claim that the remand period was not factored into his sentence was unfounded. The application for sentence review was thus without merit and dismissed.
