Was this man sentenced to 3 years or was he sentenced to 8 years? I'm not sure if concurrent means "done at the same time" as in inter-lapsing with the other sentences, or as in happening immediately after. Please help.
"Judge Digby sentenced Mr. MacDonald to three years’ imprisonment. He found that two years in a federal penitentiary was an appropriate sentence for the offence under s. 86(1). For the offence under s. 88(1), the proper sentence was three years in a federal penitentiary concurrent with the first sentence. As for the s. 95(1) offence, he found that the minimum sentence of three years in a federal penitentiary was appropriate and ordered that it be served concurrently with the other two sentences."
