Key legal question
Whether the court had to await the outcome of the earlier case and impose a supplementary sentence instead of an independent sentence.
Extracted holding
An independent sentence was permissible because the earlier judgment was still subject to extraordinary remedies and waiting longer would have conflicted with the accelerated-trial requirement.
Extracted reasoning
For retrospective concurrence, supplementary sentencing presupposes a final prior conviction. If the prior judgment is not yet final, the second judge may either await finality or issue a separate judgment; here, waiting was unreasonable given the uncertain duration of the other proceedings.
