What is the effect of section 654 of the California Criminal Code on a defendant who is convicted and sentenced for each crime committed against three different victims?

^4. The trial court also noted that there were three different victims. ~(RT 380)~ This fact triggered the "multiple victim" exception to section 654, under which a defendant who entertains a single objective during an indivisible course of conduct may be convicted and punished for each crime of violence against a different victim. (People v. Garcia (1995) 32 Cal.App.4th 1756, 1781.) This exception is not relevant to appellant's argument, as he challenges only the sentences imposed on multiple counts involving a given victim.
