California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Dozier, G049817 (Cal. App. 2014):
"Each case must be determined on its own circumstances. [Citations.] The question whether section 654 is factually applicable to a given series of offenses is for the trial court, and the law gives the trial court broad latitude in making this determination. Its findings on this question must be upheld on appeal if there is any substantial evidence to support them. [Citations.]" (People v. Hutchins (2001) 90 Cal.App.4th 1308, 1312.)
