Re: Hmm
Not really, no. With the Barristers going on an open-ended strike, you'd be lucky to get convicted with anything anytime soon. The courts are already backed up. You'd probably have to do something to get remanded in custody, but then you might not get out as soon as you'd like. Remand would be taken into account on any custodial sentence, but it could be a long time before you get to trial in the first place.
