California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Galvan, 187 Cal.App.3d 1205, 232 Cal.Rptr. 410 (Cal. App. 1986):
The trial court concluded "the four sex counts are to be the subject of concurrent sentences, but, I think, I am mandated under 667.6, subdivision (c) to sentence those consecutively to the kidnapping count." (Italics added.) On this basis we remand for resentencing. On remand the trial court can sentence appellant under section 667.6, subdivision (c). If it chooses to do so, it must make a statement of sentence choice. (People v. Belmontes, supra, 34 Cal.3d 335, 347-348, 193 Cal.Rptr. 882, 667 P.2d 686.)
