Does section 654 of the California Criminal Code prohibit multiple punishment for multiple crimes arising out of a single transaction?

Section 654 provides in pertinent part: "An act or omission which is made punishable in different ways by different provisions of this code may be punished under either of such provisions, but in no case can it be punished under more than one...." Thus, section 654 prohibits multiple punishment for multiple offenses arising out of a single indivisible transaction. Whether a course of criminal conduct is divisible depends on the intent and objective of the actor. (Neal v. State (1960) 55 Cal.2d 11, 19.)
