1. “Specifically, here, defendant was in fact on bail on the subject charge but was unable to make the bail that had been imposed on the consolidation of the bail in the two cases. Because of the consolidation of the bail with a case which was dismissed, the defendant’s bail in this case became meaningless. To put it otherwise, the time spent in jail by this defendant was not attributable to any other offense actually committed by him. While it may therefore be argued that the time served was directly attributable to this case, it was not in fact so attributable; the actual fact is that defendant was on bail on this indictment. Accordingly, the defendant’s incarceration cannot be said to have been solely attributable to the subject charge and he is therefore beyond the criterion of the rule. [ 311 N.J.Super. at 547-48 , 710 A.2d at 601 ].”
