3 later decisions quote this exact passage““ ‘Punishment is a consequence of crime, to be sure, but in a legal view, it is the immediate consequences of only a -'eonviction of crime. Hence, any pain or penalty which the offender has suffered before conviction and before sentence has been pronounced upon him is .illegal, or is due to some demand of the law- other than that based upon his conviction. In either case, it fails to enure to his benefit as part of that due punishment which the. law exacts, by reason of his conviction and of the sentence passed upon him.’” (Emphasis supplied). 106 Ariz. at 192-193 , 472 P.2d at 61-62 ; quoted with approval from People ex rel Stokes v. Warden of State Prison, 66 N.Y. 342, 345 (1876).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““This Court has followed North Carolina v. Pearce, supra; State v. Johnson, 105. Ariz. 21, 458 P.2d 955 . However, these cases pertain solely to time served under a prior conviction, and do not involve the question of credit for time served in jail prior to a conviction and sentence.” State v. Kennedy, 106 Ariz. 190, 192 , 472 P.2d 59, 61 (1970).”
