This construction means he was "sentenced for the second time" and there is an intervening infinitive.

To avoid confusion, the sentence might better read, "For the second time in 10 years, the killer has received a death sentence."

Obviously the first sentence was not carried out, and was either set aside (requiring a new trial), or stayed pending trial for another capital crime. The time between the two, 10 years, suggests that there was a lengthy appeal process of 3 to 5 years, the granting of a new trial, and a reconviction on the same charge, leading to the same death sentence.

What does concurrent mean in court?

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.
