cumulative sentences

Read a random definition: aider

A quick definition of cumulative sentences:

Cumulative sentences are when a person is given two or more jail sentences that they have to serve one after the other. For example, if someone is given a 10-year sentence and a 5-year sentence, they would have to serve a total of 15 years in jail. This is also called consecutive sentences. It's important to follow the law and not do things that could lead to getting a cumulative sentence.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Cumulative sentences are two or more sentences of jail time to be served in sequence. For example, if a defendant receives consecutive sentences of 20 years and 5 years, the total amount of jail time is 25 years.

Example: John was found guilty of two crimes and was sentenced to 10 years for the first crime and 15 years for the second crime. Since the sentences are cumulative, John will serve a total of 25 years in jail.

This example illustrates how cumulative sentences work. When a defendant is found guilty of multiple crimes, the judge can impose consecutive sentences, which means the defendant will serve one sentence after the other. This can result in a longer jail time for the defendant.
