consect

[Jonathan Lighter]

Not in OED.

The tot-mom jurors (who weren't afraid to put two and two together and get
two) convicted Tot Mom on four counts of lying to investigators.

This morning Chief Judge Belvin Perry, Jr., decided to "consect" the
four-year sentences - make them run consecutively rather than concurrently.

I assume this is a well-known legal term.
