The court may, when issuing a judgment on a crime of non-proportional fine or incarceration for a period not exceeding one year, order the stay of execution if it deems in the ethics, past history or age of the convict, or the circumstances in which the crime has been committed, what leads to the belief that he will not commit a new crime. The Court may make the stay of execution inclusive of any subsidiary penalty except confiscation. In the misdemeanours stipulated in Articles (379), (380), (382), (390), (425), (426), (427), (447), (453) and (454) of this Law, and in theft, fraud, breach of trust, and concealment of objects obtained therefrom, if the victim is a spouse, ascendant or descendant of the perpetrator, the Public Prosecution shall stay the execution of the freedom-restricting penalty imposed whenever the victim waives or reconciles with the convict.
