Does Section 654 of the California Probation Code preclude separate sentences for Liddell on counts 2 and 4 of the kidnapping conviction under the same section?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Liddell, B292304 (Cal. App. 2019):

Because we find substantial evidence supports her kidnapping conviction under the first event (movement from the motel to the apartment), we need not address whether the second event (movement from the apartment to the car) also supports the kidnapping conviction. (See People v. Aguilar (1997) 16 Cal.4th 1023, 1035 [where prosecutor presents the jury with alternative factual scenarios on which to base a conviction, the conviction may be affirmed if the evidence is sufficient to support one of those scenarios].)
