Hadn't heard of this case before but damn, when a judge gives you concurrent cause they think you're the type of person to get time added onto your sentence is damming af
Concurrent = at the same time
Consecutive = one after another
Concurrent is almost always the better deal.
Constructive = one after another
I think you mean "consecutive".
Yeah, typo, fixed

I've never understood that. How is serving sentences concurrently at all the same punishment? Are there cases where someone has two sentences that can be ruled either to serve consecutively or concurrently? Who makes that decision and what goes into it?

Totally deserved. I have been the passenger in a similar situation to this - shit was horrifying. I got 100000000% lucky that I wasn't injured in the crash.
