What factors will a judge consider when deciding whether to sentence a defendant to a consecutive or concurrent sentence for assault with intent to murder and assault against two victims?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Larson, E063619 (Cal. App. 2016):

Criteria affecting the decision to impose consecutive rather than concurrent sentences include facts relating to the crimes, including whether or not the crimes involved separate acts of violence or threats of violence. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 4.425(a)(2)). Also, the presence of separate victim names in separate counts will justify a consecutive sentence. (People v. Caesar, supra, 167 Cal.App.4th at pp. 1060-1061, citing People v. Calhoun (2007) 40 Cal.4th 398, 408.)
