Errrrrrrrr, seatrout WRONG AGAIN. Yes you can be sentanced to an offence you have not been charged with. However, only lower offences.
i.e Assault down to public order or murder down to manslaughter.
If the CPS deem fit, you can be charged at court assuming no new evidence has come to light since questioning if the original charge is deemed too low. This rarely happens and you would have had to sign a charge sheet and been placed under caution should you wish to reply.

Bewlay could you put your great legal mind into gear and explain to me the following
As it is the CPS who determine the level of charge and in the scenario you describe above there is no new evidence that has come to light on what basis can the CPS charge a more serious offence and would this not amount to an abuse of process?
In the scenario described by the person who posted this query given that she pleaded guilty would autrefois convict not apply?
Answers on a post card please or in your case the back of a stamp should suffice
