California Court of Appeal

Judgment of convictions of felony attempted extortion and misdemeanor false imprisonment arising out of defendants' joint role in handling two undocumented immigrants smuggled into the United States is: 1) modified to strike defendants' convictions for misdemeanor false imprisonment because the jury improperly convicted defendants of two uncharged lesser included offenses for each charge of kidnapping for ransom and Penal Code section 954 permits one conviction per charge; and 2) affirmed in all other respects.
