P.v. Kenner
Bryan Kenner challenges the legality of his jail sentence following his conviction for assault, spousal battery, and 23 counts of contempt of court. The contempt charges arose from Kenner's violation of a court order forbidding contact with the victim. Kenner contends that the contempt convictions were part of the same continuous course of conduct and should be stayed. (Pen. Code, § 654.)[1] We agree that the contempt offenses were committed in pursuit of one objective: dissuading the victim from coming to court and testifying truthfully against him. We therefore modify the judgment to stay the sentences for counts 6 to 27.
