Is a course of conduct which violates more than one statute but constitutes a divisible transaction an indivisible transaction?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Banks, E061755 (Cal. App. 2016):
conduct which violates more than one statute but constitutes an indivisible transaction.' [Citation.] Generally, whether a course of conduct is a divisible transaction depends on the intent and objective of the actor: 'If all of the offenses were incident to one objective, the defendant may be punished for any one of such offenses but not for more than one.' [Citation.]" (People v. Alvarez (2009) 178 Cal.App.4th 999, 1006.)
