Can you go to court and plead guilty without points and ask for higher fine?

If the evidence against my case is overwhelming then naturally I would plead GUILTY. It is quite useless or futile to struggle to the course of the trial to plead NOT GUILTY because the judge if the case turn against me would impose a much HIGHER PENALTY than if I would plead GUILTY. Do you understand now why people to make things simpler and positive just plead GUILTY in court?

Since everyone is entitled to the representative of a lawyer in court, the client and the lawyer would have ample time to consult one another in the case at hand. So that a client would not give statement or plea of guilty or not guilty without consulting first his or her lawyer. And whatever the client stated in court, the lawyer will defend the client statement.

In your example, once the client plead NOT GUILTY, the lawyer has no other option but to stand the client ground that the crime impose upon him are not true, that is why the client pleaded "not guilty". But in the course of the trial, the client can change his or her plea, this is practically allowed by the court. We all have MEMORY LAPSES, for example we sometimes forget things that are already there in the first place.

So if the client pleaded "not guilty" then and now pleaded "guilty" then the court allow it and close the case at hand. Naturally the prosecution team won. And the sentence and bail is set by the court unless otherwise stated by the court.

By far more defendants plead guilty than not guilty, and there are benefits to doing so. The defendant will have had a disclosure of evidence from the prosecution before the trial, so he will know what evidence they have. He will also more than likely have a solicitor or barrister who will advise him if a guilty plea is better than a not guilty plea.

The benefit of a guilty plea for the victims and witnesses are that they don't have to attend court or be cross-examined at all, so a guilty plea can save these people a harrowing experience. It also saves the court time and money, money which will have come from the public purse. This saving of time and money by confessing guilt is often rewarded.

In English courts a defendant who pleads guilty can expect a sentence more lenient than if he had pleaded guilty, up to a third reduction. The attraction is obvious. If you get a custodial sentence it will be shorter.

If you get a fine it will be less. The length of sentence can be important in the future. A short sentence may be considered "spent" in a few years.

A longer one may never be considered spent and could hang over you and affect your employment chances for life.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
