CALIFORNIA CRIMINAL DEFENSE: JUVENILE GETS CONSECUTIVE SENTENCES FOR MULTIPLE DRUG SALES
The minor sold meth five times during a football game. She got five consecutive sentences (I suppose the Court of Appeal means that the juvenile court set the maximum confinement time by imposing consecutive sentences).
The minor argues that California Penal Code sec. 654 bars consec. sentences here. The Court of Appeal disagrees, saying that each sale was a unique act with a separate objective.
