California Criminal Procedure § 12:8
Appellate courts have adopted two different tests under Kellett to determine whether multiple offenses occurred during the same course of conduct… Under one line of cases, multiple prosecutions are not barred if the offenses were committed at separate times and locations. (People v. Douglas (1966) 246 Cal.App.2d 594, 599 (no bar to multiple prosecution where each offense had a separate beginning, duration, and end, none of which overlapped); People v.
