MR JUSTICE CHOUDHURY:
"The reduction should normally be decreased further, even to zero, if the guilty plea is entered during the course of the trial."
The judge did not give any credit for guilty plea. He went on to suggest that the advantage to the appellant "has been the acceptance of your plea by [the Prosecution] offering no further evidence on three other rape allegations".
