Concurrent, frequently used to describe the running of two or more sentences that are meted out at the same time, refers to the running of both (or more) sentences at the same time. It is to be contrasted with consecutively wherein the person being sentenced must serve one sentence before he starts serving the second sentence. For example, if you are sentenced on Count I to serve eight years, and you are sentenced on Count II to serve 4 years, and the judge imposes the sentences to be served "concurrently," then the defendant serves 8 years. However, if the judge imposes the sentencesd to be served "consecutively," the defendant will serve 12 years.
