    Thanks for all that explanation. It ended up in me being even more confused what the point of 7 concurrent life sentences is.

      Sentences are concurrent by default unless the specific law they are convicted of breaking requires their sentence to be served consecutively or the judge specifically rules that they are to be consecutive. I am not really sure on the history of why that is though.
