Can a defendant be charged with multiple counts of the same offence for the same act pursuant to section 954 of the California Criminal Code?

Section 954 provides "[a]n accusatory pleading may charge two or more different offenses connected together in their commission, or different statements of the same offense ..., under separate counts" and the "prosecution is not required to elect between the different ... counts set forth in the accusatory pleading." However, a defendant may not be convicted of multiple counts of the same offense for the same act pursuant to section 954. (People v. Coyle (2009) 178 Cal.App.4th 209, 217.)
