Does Section 667.61, subdivisions (f) and (g) of the Criminal Code apply only once?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from The People v. Acosta, 80 Cal.App.4th 714, 95 Cal.Rptr.2d 614 (Cal. App. 2000):

Defendant emphasizes the language of section 667.61, subdivisions (f) and (g) to argue that "[a] particular aggravating circumstance may be used only once, and a defendant who commits qualifying sex offenses against a single victim on a single occasion shall receive only a single sentence of 25 years to life . . . ." (Italics added.) Respondent does not directly answer this argument, but instead essentially relies on People v. Ervin, supra, 50 Cal.App.4th 259.
