People v. Duarte, G041195
Conviction of defendant for firearm and gang related offenses is affirmed but modified as, where the underlying felony is a necessary element of the street terrorism charge, section 654 bars separate punishment, and here, the evidence demonstrated that defendant fired a weapon on one occasion. Therefore, section 654 bars punishment for the firearm offense and a separate punishment for the street terrorism substantive offense for the same conduct.
