What is the appropriate punishment for an act or omission that violates more than one criminal provision?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Dehoyos, E068998 (Cal. App. 2019):
"punish[ment]" for an act or omission that violates more than one criminal provision. "Accordingly, rather than . . . imposing concurrent sentences, when a court determines that a conviction falls within the meaning of section 654, it is necessary to impose sentence but to stay the execution of the duplicate sentence." (People v. Duff (2010) 50 Cal.4th 787, 796.)
