Is there any case law where a defendant has been convicted of a charge of making threats under section 654 of the California Criminal Code?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Giddings, A152397 (Cal. App. 2019):
Accordingly, because Giddings intended to intimidate several people, making him more culpable than if he had threatened only a single one (People v. Centers, supra, 73 Cal.App.4th at p. 99), we reject his argument that section 654 prohibits the imposition of consecutive sentences for his four violations of section 245, subdivision (b).
