Newton Hearing

Legal terms A-Z

A hearing that takes place after a person has pleaded guilty if what they say happened is different to the prosecution version of events.

A judge will decide whether their version or the prosecution’s is more reliable. This might make a difference to what sentence the person is given and whether they will get a lower sentence for pleading guilty.
