Criminal Justice

[JimF]

You basically have two alternatives:

1) plead guilty
2) plead not guilty

how many marks are there for the answer, or if you are due in court , what have you been charged with, please give all the details

[Peter Pedant]

come on come one
the idea is that you research your answer and write the answer
you easily have time as the universities have disperse

and it is not a test on whether you can type into answerbank

having said that - we are english and it is a more criminology question so red the chapter of your text book for the week where you got this lecture

English criminal law doesnt really have a plea bargain
so in the system you have - you cd compare it to England which has none and whether it works or not better than not having one at all

england - people pleading guilty when they arent -to avoid the hassle of turning up to court - brings the court system into disrepute
and the cost of defence - here up to £10 000 a week without hope of recovering costs

oh and the locus of where the plea bargain occurs
the where?
the guilt finding process ( verdict or result) should be in the court room and jury room
where as it is displaced in a plea bargain to the dark room outside court and the people change as well - the jury is displaced and the people doing it are the prosecution ( crown ) and defence barristers ( attorneys)

has it misfired - yes epstein - he pleaded 2003 innit and then he went onto do more

and that is it
I cant say plea bargains interest me as much as
London today
parliament has dispersed - has it happened before ? yes 1665 and 1683 spring to the english mind
and does it mean instead govt by diktat by faceless civil servants who are unaccountable - yes

get back to Parliament and yak - you laxy MPs!

[Peter Pedant]

england
always plead not guilty in a jury trial
juries are not that thick you know like the unelected judges
and acquit in two thirds....
