The following excerpt is from People v. Amador, C082056 (Cal. App. 2018):
"Section 654 bars multiple punishment for separate offenses arising out of a single occurrence when all of the offenses were incident to one objective. [Citation.] Whether section 654 applies is a question of fact for the trial court, and its finding will be upheld if there is substantial evidence to support the finding." (People v. Buchanan (2016) 248 Cal.App.4th 603, 611.)
