Does section 654 of the California Criminal Code bar multiple punishment for multiple violations of the same criminal statute?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Dunbar, G056280 (Cal. App. 2020):
470, subdivision (d). While section 654 applies to crimes covering "different provisions of law" ( 654, subd. (a)), it "does not bar multiple punishment for multiple violations of the same criminal statute." (People v. Correa (2012) 54 Cal.4th 331, 334.) Therefore, appellant's sentence does not violate section 654.
