The 11550 H+S charge carries a minimum of 90 days to 1 year if convicted. And 14601.2 VC Carries a minimum 10 days, without a prior, and an IID device. Courts can sentence concurrently, but usually doesn't. You sound like you should speak to a lawyer in or near your area quickly. I wish you well......... David Wallin

Unless there are provisions that prohibit it, the sentences or most charges (these two included) can be run concurrently [at the same time].

It could be either way - it depends on how the sentence was set up. It sounds as if the DUI, drugs and driving on a suspended license are all part of the same case ... often it would be worked out to be concurrent in that situation. Ask your attorney if the sentences were concurrent or consecutive. Good luck!

All those questions will be answered by the terms of whatever plea bargain your attorney negotiates with the DA and court. If you go to trial instead, and are convicted, they will run consequentially. If you�re serious about doing this, and you think you qualify under those rules, feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need.
