California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Henderson, 2d Crim. No.B275751 (Cal. App. 2017):
Section 654 prohibits multiple punishments for conduct that violates more than one statute but constitutes an indivisible transaction. (People v. Perez (1979) 23 Cal.3d 545, 551.) Whether the conduct constitutes a single act or separate acts is a factual matter for the trial court to determine. (People v. Herrera (1999) 70 Cal.App.4th 1456, 1466.)
