What is the state attorney general's argument that appellant committed a separate assault each time he slashed the victim?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Roman, 2d Crim. No. B261291 (Cal. App. 2015):
The Attorney General contends that appellant committed a separate assault each time he slashed the victim and that section 954 permits multiple convictions.4 (See People v. Allen (1999) 21 Cal.4th 846, 865 [section 954 permits dual convictions provided it does not result in multiple punishment in violation of section 654].) We reject the argument because the assault was a single course of conduct, involving the same weapon and victim.
