2. Judgment on the grounds for appeal ex officio as to the number of crimes shall be examined ex officio; and

Where several acts or acts falling under the name of the same crime continue to be committed for a certain period under the single and continuous criminal intent and where the legal benefits from such damage are the same, each act shall be punished by a single comprehensive crime in total, but where the unity and continuity of the criminal's intent are not recognized or the method of the crime is not the same, each act constitutes a substantive concurrent crime.

(2) The Majority Opinion argues that the Defendant’s unity and continuity of a crime should be determined on the basis of logical and empirical rules, i.e., the method and form of an individual crime, motive for the crime, time interval between each crime, and the same opportunity and relationship, and whether there was a follow-up crime while the use of the same opportunity and relationship continues (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2005Do4051, Sept. 30, 2005).
