① The former part of Article 37 of the Criminal Act provides that several concurrent crimes which may be determined at the same time in a single trial (hereinafter “the same concurrent crimes”) shall be deemed concurrent crimes.

Article 38 of the Criminal Act provides for the method of determining punishment for latter concurrent crimes of Article 37 of the Criminal Act; Article 39(1) of the Criminal Act provides, “The latter part of Article 37 of the Criminal Act provides for the punishment for more than seven concurrent crimes,” and Article 37 of the Criminal Act provides, “The latter part of Article 37 of the Criminal Act provides for the punishment for more than seven concurrent crimes which may be sentenced to punishment for which judgment has become final and conclusive,” and Article 37 of the Criminal Act provides that “The punishment for more than seven concurrent crimes may be mitigated than that for which judgment has become final and conclusive.”
