ABSTRACT

This unit discusses the way in which facts can be agreed with the prosecution, in connection with both trials and sentencing hearings, and the benefit to your client in attempting to do so. It also explains the way in which, by identifying the issues and agreeing as many non-disputed facts as appropriate, court time can be saved and your client’s chances of a fair trial increased. It begins by dealing with issues relating to sentencing and continues with issues relating to trials.
