3.11 Separate Consideration of Multiple Counts-Single Defendant is a legal concept that applies when a single defendant is charged with multiple offenses. It is the principle that a court should consider each count against a defendant separately, and not aggregate all the counts into a single sentence or punishment. There are two types of 3.11 Separate Consideration of Multiple Counts-Single Defendant: concurrent sentences and consecutive sentences. Concurrent sentences are when a defendant is sentenced for multiple offenses at the same time, while consecutive sentences are when a defendant is sentenced for multiple offenses consecutively.
