Plea hearing

Plea hearing is looming... next week!
Would people advise for or against going to it. I dont want to be seen as supporting him but I feel like for my own closure I just want to be there. Will I hear any of the evidence or anything if he's going to say guilty? Or is it a bit of a waste of time me going?
Also, would the arresting address be read out in court? Or just the address where he will be now?

We have this in a couple of weeks - I am supporting my OH and will be present.
As far as I know they ask the accused to confirm name, DOB and address then read each charge in turn and ask if they plead guilty or not guilty
If they plead guilty they will likely be bailed until the sentencing date (unless already on remand) - if not guilty they will be bailed/remanded till trial (which can take a couple of years)
I don't think evidence is read out at plea - that joy is saved for trial/sentencing
You must do the right thing for you though xx

Thanks for your reply!
My OH/Ex i dunno what he is if im honest, is moving out to his parents this Sunday in preparation. I really fear the fall out if my address ends up in the media!
And oh thank you for that, maybe I will just attend the sentencing then. I dont know why I want to hear the evidence, as I say just closure I suppose. Want to know what it is exactly that's ruined my life after 13 years together!
