Anyone know how consecutive life sentences works? Like, if they only get one charge, w/ a max of 25 years, then they can get out after 25. But if they're charged with 10 counts of 10 year max, do they then get 100 years of consecutive sentence?
It'll be interesting to follow the punishment for these people.

It could theoretically work both ways.
It all depends on how solid the case against them is. Often, the prosecution will offer the sentences to be served concurrently if they think they might have a difficult time proving a specific charge over one that carries a weaker penalty.
