California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Davis, F076756 (Cal. App. 2020):
The relevant factors to determine whether to impose consecutive rather than concurrent sentences are whether the crimes and their objectives were predominantly independent of each other; the crimes involved separate acts of violence or threats of violence; the crimes were committed at different times or separate places, rather than being committed so closely in time and place as to indicate a single period of aberrant behavior, and any circumstances in aggravation or mitigation. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 4.425(a), (b); People v. Alvarado (2001) 87 Cal.App.4th 178, 194.)
