What is the appropriate sentence for a defendant convicted of two counts of sexual assault against a minor?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Brashear, 271 Cal.App.2d 306, 76 Cal.Rptr. 485 (Cal. App. 1969):
In one respect the judgment is in error. Sentence was imposed on both counts on which defendant was found guilty. Since both crimes were a part of a single transaction and with a single victim, it was error to impose a sentence on both. (People v. McFarland, 58 Cal.2d 748, 26 Cal.Rptr. 473, 376 P.2d 449.)
