Do I serve my sentences at the same time or consecutively? 12 Answers as of November 14, 2011

During the sentencing the judge will say if the sentence is concurrently or consecutively. If all charges came out of the same action or arrest then normally the person would serve it all concurrently. His jail time would be 90 days less time for in custody before sentencing and time off for good time work time. The sheriff has control of if a person is released early. Most county jails in California are overcrowded forcing the sheriffs department to release inmates early. On a 90 sentence a person could be in jail for less than a week.

Whatever the judge said at sentencing at the last case. If he said nothing, it's assumed to be concurrent. You need to ask your lawyer what happened.

It depends; each person's case is different. Most often these sentences would be served concurrently (all at once) but you need to check with your attorney or see the sentencing docket to be absolutely sure.

Either way. It depends on what the judge says. If he says nothing on the subject, the sentences are served concurrently.

The sentences are concurrent unless the court said they are consecutive. Many times the court will actually say "consecutive to any other sentence" when you are sentenced on a case. If silent on the issue, they will run concurrent. It only takes one of the sentencing courts to say consecutive to make the sentences run consecutive.

Only if the judge orders them served consecutively, otherwise they are served concurrently.

It depends on how the sentence was imposed. The judge will specify if they're consecutive (back to back) or concurrent (at the same time).

It will depend on the terms of the sentenced imposed by the court. Most prosecutors offer a concurrent sentence (at the same time) if you enter into a plea agreement. Check with your attorney or public defender and be sure you know the answer before you enter your plea.

Although some circumstances could support consecutive sentences, such are presumptively concurrent.

It could be either way - it depends on how the sentence was set up. It sounds as if the DUI, drugs and driving on a suspended license are all part of the same case. Often it would be worked out to be concurrent in that situation. Find out if the sentences were concurrent or consecutive.
