About this statute

When crimes are connected for one purpose and cannot be separated, the court treats them as one crime and applies the penalty for the most serious one. The text says that when one act amounts to multiple crimes, the court should apply the punishment for the most serious crime, while supplementary penalties for the other crimes may still apply.
