Yes, in some instances, consecutive (or "stacked") sentencing is required by law. Many sex offenses, for example, require consecutive sentencing. Where consecutive sentencing is discretionary, a number of other factors will be taken in to consideration by the assigned sentencing judge. It's best to consult an experienced criminal defense attorney to carefully evaluate the likelihood of a stacked sentence. Good luck!
