Can an appeal against a concurrent sentence for aggravated mayhem and attempted murder be stayed?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Parra, F057811, No. VCF171426C (Cal. App. 2010):
Here, as in People v. Diaz, both charges of aggravated mayhem and attempted murder were based on a single shot to a single victim. Appellant's concurrent prison term on count 2 must therefore be stayed so long as the judgment on count 1 remains in full force and effect.
