I assume you're quite pleased that the "deduction for pleading guilty" guideline is being scratched in that you felt many innocent people were told to plead guilty because of it - only to find it didn't work as it was a guideline not a law?
As a result of tabloid thinking am I right to assume that......
the quantity of trials will increase hugely (why plead guilty when there's no advantage?), the costs will go through the roof, the progress of trials will slow down due to the backlog and that, as a result, many guilty people will get off to commit further crimes?

Where is the sense in all this except in tabloid headline terms?

We're being tough means we end up wasting vast amounts of tax income in stretching out a process that is liable to do more harm than good.

the Guilty plea was often a dodgy way of getting innocent people to admit guilt.
But it did at least speed up the process for the truly guilty.
Judges always found a way to give the guilty the sentence they felt they deserved... a longer sentence became precisely the one intended after a third off.
The same will happen now but the danger is... a bigger clogging up of the system and far more tax money wasted.
Just what we all need.
