What is the test for an appeal against a sentence imposed on a man convicted of two separate violent crimes against the same man?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Sperling, 12 Cal.App.5th 1094, 219 Cal.Rptr.3d 570 (Cal. App. 2017):
did not involve separate acts of violence or threats of violence, and as the crimes were not committed at different times or separate places, the trial court abused its discretion in imposing consecutive sentences." "This bare, unsubstantiated [and conclusionary] assertion does not ... satisfy [appellant's] burden on appeal." (People v. King (2010) 183 Cal.App.4th 1281, 1323, 108 Cal.Rptr.3d 333.)
