objective." (People v. Calderon (2013) 214 Cal.App.4th 656, 661.) "However, if the defendant harbored 'multiple or simultaneous objectives, independent of and not merely incidental to each other, the defendant may be punished for each violation committed in pursuit of each objective even though the violations share common acts or were parts of an otherwise indivisible course of conduct. [Citations.]'" (People v. Jones (2002) 103 Cal.App.4th 1139, 1143 (Jones).)
