The court dismissed the appeal, ruling that the assistant's lawyer's failure to appear did not constitute a procedural omission since no specific duty to attend was established. The appellant argued for the application of Article 417 of the 1929 Criminal Procedure Code, but the court found no evidence of a mandatory appearance requirement. Consequently, the court held that suspending the execution of a monetary penalty strictly requires proof of the defendant's inability to pay, a condition not met in this instance.
