Can a court impose only a single enhancement under section 12022.3 of the Sexual Offences Act, if there are more than one weapon involved in the crime?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Rener, 24 Cal.App.4th 258, 29 Cal.Rptr.2d 392 (Cal. App. 1994):

4 In People v. Maciel (1985) 169 Cal.App.3d 273, 215 Cal.Rptr. 124, this court held that a court may impose only a single enhancement under section 12022.3 on a defendant convicted of committing a specified sex offense, even if more than one weapon is involved in the crime. Although the facts of that case indicate one of the enhancements found true was for vicarious arming, this court's opinion did not discuss the issue with which we are concerned here.
