The Discount on a Plea of Guilt

In addition to the immense humaneness of this book and the stories you tell, you are very careful to to include quite technical detail about the criminal processes. One of the biggest discounts does come with a plea of guilty. The reason for that really significant discount is, i suppose, multifold. First of all, it's done primarily to encourage pleas of guilty. Another hugely important aspect is the vast saving costs. Most trials at the old bailey last between three weeks and ten weeks.
