Does section 654 of the California Criminal Code require a finding that multiple offenses were committed at one intent and objective?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Cruz, 259 Cal.Rptr.3d 870, 46 Cal.App.5th 715 (Cal. App. 2020):
finding that multiple offenses were aimed at one intent and objective does not necessarily mean that they constituted one indivisible course of conduct for purposes of section 654. If the offense were committed on different occasions, they may be punished separately." ( People v. Kwok, supra , 63 Cal.App.4th at p. 1253, 75 Cal.Rptr.2d 40.)
