Judges give concurrent sentences when the defendant is to serve multiple sentences, often for related crimes or the crimes of the same incident.
Concurrent sentences are prison terms that are served at the same time. Serving consecutive sentences means more time in prison. They are a factor if you are convicted of multiple crimes. California judges have lots of discretion in which type of sentence to impose.
