Can a defendant have one or multiple criminal objectives for purposes of section 654 of the Criminal Code?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Stewart, E060622 (Cal. App. 2015):
Whether a defendant had one or multiple criminal objectives for purposes of section 654 is a question of fact for the trial court, and its determination will be upheld if supported by substantial evidence. We review the trial court's determination in the light most favorable to the respondent and presume the existence of every fact the trial court could reasonably deduce from the evidence. (People v. Jones (2002) 103 Cal.App.4th 1139, 1143.)
