Hearing (Criminal) - bail application
|
Before : |
W. J. Bailhache, Esq., Bailiff, and Jurats Marett-Crosby and Thomas |
The Attorney General
-v-
Mark Christopher James Goodchild
Ms S. J. O'Donnell, Crown Advocate.
Advocate E. L. Burns for the Defendant.
JUDGMENT
THE BAILIFF:
1. Mr Goodchild, your counsel has made a very full application for bail but bail is refused. The Court remanded you in custody last week because you had breached the bail condition. As far as this Court is concerned it is important to make it plain to defendants that the criminal process does not continue at their convenience; it continues fairly and all parties, both the Crown and the defendant, are expected to play their part in making sure that justice is done and that the proper process is followed. Your bail was rightly revoked last week.
2. We have read the proposed agreed basis of plea and we have heard the facts as outlined by the Crown. It seems to us that inevitably we should, at this stage, take your guilty plea, even on the proposed basis which has been put forward, as changing the landscape and you are therefore looking at a custodial sentence.
3. Bail is refused.
