Re: Running charges concurrent

Whether those charges would run concurrent or consecutive would be within the discretion of the judge assigned to the case. Additionally, the prosecutor may file a recidivist notice which would trigger the mandatory maximum sentence for the crime. In such an eventuality, you would be looking at serving every day of your sentence w/o possibility of parole.

If you are looking for counsel, please send me an email to discuss the matter further.
