The following excerpt is from People v. Parsons, 156 Cal.App.3d 1165, 203 Cal.Rptr. 412 (Cal. App. 1984):
In the case at bench, the appellant was charged with receiving stolen property. Evidence showed that the appellant may have received four different items of stolen property at four different times. Therefore, although the jury may have felt that, given the evidence, the appellant was guilty of receiving stolen property, they would have to agree that the appellant was guilty with respect to receiving one or more of the items of property produced at trial. (People v. Diedrich (1982) 31 Cal.3d 263, 281, 182 Cal.Rptr. 354, 643 P.2d 971.)
