Plea hearing
Notifications OFF
I'm so anxious my husband has got his plea hearing at the magistrate court on 7 th March 20 month after the knock he is pleading guilty to 4 cat A , 1 cat B and 23 cat C. Images. The police who gave letter to him and his solicitor said prob get suspended sentence. What happens at the plea hearing is it something I need to attend ? As I would need to get time off work. Or is it better to attend sentencing hearing ? Any advice is gratefully received. It has had such a knock on effect in all of our lives. April we was supposed to be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary with the trip of a lifetime but .......
thanks

Hi Dolly, plea hearing takes about 20 minutes. The prosecution outline the case and the person then pleads either guilty or not guilty. If they plead guilty they wil, e told that they need to sign on the sex offenders register within 3 days. I didn't go in to the plea hearing as my son didn't want me to but I did sit in the waiting room with him before he was called in.
If you can only attend one of the court hearings then sentencing is the one I think you'll husband would benefit more from, as it's very traumatic.

The plea hearing literally took 15 minutes. I'd say the sentencing was more important to be at if you think you can face it xx
