Does section 654 of the Criminal Code require a separate criminal intent and objective?

The court's section 654 analysis in People v. Corpening (2016) 2 Cal.5th 307 does not assist defendant's argument. There, our state high court clarified that, if separate offenses are completed by a single physical act or course of conduct, then 654 bars separate punishment for the offenses, and it is unnecessary to determine whether the separate acts evinced separate criminal intents and objectives. (Corpening, at pp. 311-315 ["Only if we conclude that the case involves more than a single acti.e., a course of conductdo we then consider whether that course of conduct reflects a single 'intent and objective' or multiple intends and objectives"].)
