Ch 25, P. 245—A Homework
“I hereby sentence you…to hard labor…at Sing Sing…for not less than five, no more than fifteen years for attempted armed robbery in the first degree.”
Up came my head; there was no need to be humble, the judge didn’t dig my humility. I felt two hands grab me by each arm, and I was hustled away (I guess to keep me from doing anything angry or foolish). As I was being led away, the D.A. whispered something to the judge, who called me back and put five to ten more years on my back, for felonious assault, “the sentences to run…”
I held my breath. If he said “consecutively,” I’d have to finish up one sentence before starting the other; but if he said “concurrently,” the two sentences would run together.
“…concurrently,” the judge concluded.
I was still in trouble, but at least I could do two days for one.
What kind of conflict is in this passage?
What was Piri sentenced to?
How long was he sentenced for?
What would it mean if the judge said “concurrently”?
