If a defendant "entertained multiple criminal objectives which were independent of and not merely incidental to each other", can he be punished for multiple crimes committed in pursuit of the same objectives?

[3] Conversely, if a defendant "entertained multiple criminal objectives which were independent of and not merely incidental to each other, he may be punished for independent violations committed in pursuit of each objective even though the violations shared common acts or were parts of an otherwise indivisible course of conduct." ( People v. Beamon, supra, 8 Cal.3d at p. 639, 105 Cal.Rptr. 681, 504 P.2d 905.) In other words, "what may appear on the surface to be a single act may embody separately punishable violations." ( Id. at p. 638, 105 Cal.Rptr. 681, 504 P.2d 905.)
