Thinking about pleading guilty just to ""get it over with""? It's worth knowing what you're agreeing to first.

A guilty plea isn't the end of your case, it's the start of sentencing. The charge, the facts read to the court, and how your circumstances are presented can all affect the outcome, and once a plea is entered, it's very hard to change.

Our latest article from Criminal Lawyer Madeleine Drew looks at when pleading guilty makes sense, when it doesn't, and why advice matters before you decide: https://www.caldicottlawyers.com.au/why-people-plead-guilty

Not everyone is granted bail in South Australia. Under the Bail Act 1985 (SA), a ""prescribed applicant"" charged with certain serious offences must establish special circumstances before they can be released, and recent changes have widened who this applies to and tightened the conditions.

If someone you love has been arrested and may fall into this category, the timing and preparation of a bail application matters. Our latest article breaks down what's changed and what's involved: https://www.caldicottlawyers.com.au/presumption-bail-prescribed-applicants
