California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Durham, F058573, Super. Ct. No. F08600722 (Cal. App. 2011):
As applied to the instant case, the trial court correctly found that the entirety of defendant's statements and actions toward Salas-at the reception desk, through the window, and as he was being arrested-fell within the first aspect of the continuous course of conduct exception, because the incidents were so closely connected that they formed part of a single transaction. (People v. Sanchez (2001) 94 Cal.App.4th 622, 631.)6
