The Supreme Court of Justice unanimously rejected the appeal regarding the exemption from depositing criminal fines and court costs. The appellant argued for dispensation based on financial hardship, but the court held that such relief is strictly conditional upon obtaining legal aid assistance within the statutory deadline. Consequently, without proof of legal aid, the mandatory deposit requirement remains in force under the cited resolutions and cost code provisions.
