Does a court violate section 654 of the California Criminal Code by imposing both a firearm enhancement and a great bodily injury enhancement under section 12022.7, subdivision (a), both at trial?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Fanelli, D076646 (Cal. App. 2020):
The trial court did not violate section 654 in imposing both a firearm enhancement under section 12022.5, subdivision (a), and a great bodily injury enhancement under section 12022.7, subdivision (a), because section 1170.1, subdivisions (f) and (g), specifically allow imposition of both enhancements where a defendant both used a firearm and inflicted great bodily injury in the commission of an offense. (People v. Ahmed (2011) 53 Cal.4th 156, 162-168.)
