2025(People v. Brents (2012) 53 Cal.4th 599, 618 (Brents).) Subdivision (a) of section 654 states in pertinent part: “An act or omission that is punishable in different ways by different provisions of law may be punished under either of such provisions, but in no case shall the act or omission be punished under more than one provision.” The statute precludes more than one punishment for multiple violations arising from a single act, and also forbids more than one punishment for a course of conduct comprising multiple acts undertaken with a single intent or objective.

2016In Gutierrez, the California Supreme Court rejected the People’s argument that the enactment of section 1170, subdivision (d)(2) eliminated the possibility that a defendant serving an LWOP sentence under California law for a crime committed as a juvenile, had suffered a Miller violation. ( Gutierrez, supra, 58 Cal.4th at p. 1387.) The Gutierrez court reasoned in part: “The Attorney General contends that section 1170[, subdivision (d)(2)] removes life without parole sentences for juvenile offenders from the ambit of Miller s concerns because the statute provides a meaningful opportunity for suc
