Hi all, how likely is it that the media will be at a plea hearing at crown court? I'm debating attending as I feel as though I'm not hearing any truth through my ex-partners family, but I'm scared about if media could be there and if my presence suggests I'm supporting him, which I'm not.

Hi Ivie

There was a journo lurking around before my son's trial - our lawyer told him 'just a few images' (if only it were that simple!) and he went off in search of something else. I was amazed, but admittedly there was a far more interesting trial going on the same day which help.

Best of luck x

They are unlikely to be there in person, unless there is something unusual about the case, like an authority figure involved, teacher, police officer, politician etc.

More likely that they will pick the details up from the court reports later, but again it would need something noteworthy to make a story, like a large number of images for example.
