NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
Nottingham Crown Court is a significant venue for high-profile and serious cases in the East Midlands region, and sentencing hearings are typically attended by the defendant to allow them to show remorse or provide mitigating circumstances. The decision of a defendant to refuse attendance at their own sentencing hearing is unusual and may be taken into account by the judge when determining the sentence. Refusal to attend can also limit the defendant's opportunity to address the court or provide any last-minute information that may impact the sentencing decision.
