Several acts respecting one person or thing, each of which is a crime
1092.— (1) Where a person does several acts against or in respect of another person or thing, each of which is a crime under this Code or any other enactment, but all of which acts are done in execution of the same design, and, in the opinion of the Court before which the person is tried, from one or continuous transaction, the person may be punished for all of such acts as one crime, or for any one of such several acts as one crime, and all the acts may be taken into consideration in determining punishment, but he or she shall not be liable to separate punishments with respect to the several crimes;
(2) If a person by one act assaults, harms, or kills several persons or in any manner causes injury to several persons or things, he or she shall be punished in respect of one of the persons so assaulted, harmed, or killed or of the persons to whom or things to which injury is so caused, but in determining punishment the Court may take into consideration all the intended or probable consequences of the crime.
1. The Court shall have jurisdiction over natural persons pursuant to this Statute.
2. A person who commits a crime within the jurisdiction of the Court shall be individually responsible and liable for punishment in accordance with this Statute.
3. In accordance with this Statute, a person shall be criminally responsible and liable for punishment for a crime within the jurisdiction of the Court if that person:
(a) Commits such a crime, whether as an individual, jointly with another or through another person, regardless of whether that other person is criminally responsible;
(b) Orders, solicits or induces the commission of such a crime which in fact occurs or is attempted;
(c) For the purpose of facilitating the commission of such a crime, aids, abets or otherwise assists in its commission or its attempted commission, including providing the means for its commission;
(d) In any other way contributes to the commission or attempted commission of such a crime by a group of persons acting with a common purpose. Such contribution shall be intentional and shall either:
