Is a concurrent term of life without the possibility of parole imposed on count 2 of the murder charge?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Lydon, C074335 (Cal. App. 2020):
We will therefore modify the judgment to strike the concurrent term and to instead stay execution of the term of life without the possibility of parole imposed on count 2. (People v. Alford (2010) 180 Cal.App.4th 1463, 1468 [where section 654 applies, the trial court must impose sentence on both counts and stay execution of the sentence on one of the counts].)
