What is the test for determining whether there were two crimes committed at the same time, one committed with the same intent and objectives, and the other committed with different intentions and objectives?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Vidrio, E069872 (Cal. App. 2020):

Ordinarily, we would presume the trial court found that the two crimes were committed with separate intents and objectives, and we would ask only whether the evidence supports that implied finding. (People v. Dowdell (2014) 227 Cal.App.4th 1388, 1414.)
