How has section 654 of the California Code of Criminal Procedure been interpreted in court?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from The People v. Moreno, F056999, Super. Ct. No. VCF196298 (Cal. App. 2011):

Appellant argues the trial court violated section 654, 3 which prohibits punishment for two offenses arising from the same act or from a series of acts constituting an indivisible course of conduct (People v. Latimer (1993) 5 Cal.4th 1203, 1216; People v. Harrison (1989) 48 Cal.3d 321, 335), when it imposed a separate, consecutive sentence on count 2. According to appellant, the attack on J.M. was a single indivisible course of conduct. We disagree.
