| 765556 | 2009-04-20 00:08:00 | Hi Win*. At what stage of the proceedings does this occur: The "totally confidential sentence indication hearing" is a status hearing which is where a judge indicates his preliminary view of the case. Not binding on anyone but useful. Before, during or after he/she has bothered hearing from the parties?:cool: |

At what stage of the proceedings does this occur: The "totally confidential sentence indication hearing" is a status hearing which is where a judge indicates his preliminary view of the case. Not binding on anyone but useful. Before, during or after he/she has bothered hearing from the parties?:cool: Status hearings were introduced ten years ago as a method of cutting through hopeless defences, and to let nervous defendants know what sort of sentence they might get. Essentially the police tell the judge what they have to back up the charge(s), and the defendant's lawyer points to weaknesses in their case. The judge asks some questions, then tells everyone what s/he thinks - and the type of sentence that would apply if convicted. It's a formal discussion, no witnesses or evidence, and the judge may refuse to sit on the trial. A common result of a status hearing is the defendant pleads guilty on the spot - over and done with inside half an hour instead of half a day or more. To be fair, sometimes the police are told their case doesn't measure up and they withdraw the charge. |

Many people I know who think violence is an excellent problem solver have no issue beating down bigger people, or getting beaten down by them. The vast majority of people are quite stunned when they get attacked. That is after all how you win a bar fight. |

| 765562 | 2009-04-21 01:32:00 | When Veitch finally completes suicide, will the Herald & TV3 be pleased with themselves? People who mean it don't send messages to people first telling them. I've known of 2 who meant it, and 1 who was just like this attention seeking twat. |
