Supreme Court of California

A sentencing court may consider enhancements in determining the sentence that Penal Code section 654 requires it to impose, and where an assault with a firearm charge carried a longer potential term of imprisonment than defendant's other conviction, the court is required on remand to impose sentence for that assault.
