Legal Terms - concurrent sentence
When an accused person is found guilty of multiple crimes, they may be sentenced to serve one or more sentences concurrently. Typically, concurrent sentences consist of jail periods, meaning that the accused actually serves the entirety of the longest sentence. As an alternative, the court may impose successive sentences that build upon one another.
