Consecutive sentences may be imposed at the discretion of the presiding judge if it is found that—

(1) the offender committed one or more of the offenses while on judicial release or parole, on community control or probation, or while serving a term of imprisonment for a prior conviction;

(2) at least two of the offenses were committed as part of one or more courses of conduct, which brought about significant harm, or the possibility for such, that no single prison term for any of the offenses would adequately punish the offender or reflect the seriousness of the conduct; or,

(3) the offender’s criminal activity or history demonstrates consecutive sentences are necessary to protect the public or the Republic from future crimes.
