Hello, I'll be attending a plea hearing with my brother soon and wondering if anyone can give me a run down of what to expect on the day, how long, the structure, how much information/ detail to expect to hear. It'll be a guilty plea.

Thank you so much

Don't worry too much about it. Once he's made his plea they will just sort out a date for sentencing, gathering of reports etc. My son was in an out in about 20 mins x

In my experience, this part is quick. Rundown of offences/charges, plea and then arrange date for sentencing xxx
