About this video
When someone is charged with several offenses, Chapter 3 decides whether they are tried together and whether the sentences run at the same time or one after another. Brian Foley explains § 3.01 (the definition of a "criminal episode"), § 3.02 (consolidation and joinder), § 3.03 (concurrent sentences — and the exceptions that allow stacking), and § 3.04 (the defendant's right to sever) — and how these rules shape plea negotiations.
