The judge should explain reasons for possible Consecutive vs Concurrent sentencing before allowing them to continue with besmirching the victim as a defense. Jmo.Yeah. Wanting to present a defense like that is one thing, but it would be up to a judge to allow it in the first place.
Because as a judge I would be appalled and truly give him a Consecutive sentence even if it was a hung jury for the 2 murder charges of the kids. While guilty on the other 5 charges.
Consecutive sentencing is when each sentence on each count runs 1 after the other.
While Concurrent sentencing is when each sentence on each count runs Concurrent with the highest.
So 25 years Concurrent is way better than 25 + 10 +10 +5 + 5 Consecutive. Jmo
