““ ‘Multiplicity exists when the State uses a single wrongful act as the basis for multiple charges. . . . Charges are . . . not multiplicitous when the offenses occur at different times and in different places. “ ‘A test for determining whether a continuous transaction results in the commission of but a single offense is whether separate and distinct prohibited acts, made punishable by law, have been committed. A single motive for a series of acts does not necessarily result in a single crime. “ ‘Multiplicity does not exist if an act of violence is intermittent or separate and wholly unrelated to the other acts of violence.’ ””
