AI generated

The court declared the criminal appeal inadmissible because the absent co-author could not challenge a final judgment rendered against the present co-authors. The defendant argued for a joint review of the crime, but the prosecution contended that the absence precluded such a procedural link. The court ruled that since the judgment against the present parties had already become final, it could not be extended to the absent participant.
