My fear is that he will do what a lot of defendants seem to do - plead guilty just before or on the first day of the trial. Unbelievably that still gets them a discounted sentence, which is so frustrating. The earlier they plead, the more it is taken into consideration.
What really annoys me about this is it doesn't account for all the anguish it causes victims, the time wasted preparing the court bundle by both sides etc.
Anyone know whether this reduction still happens in sex offence cases?
