How do court cases work with extra charges?

[courtcases]

I’m being vague for obvious reasons
say someone is found guilty of 10 charges and they’re waiting for sentencing
then they are charged with another 10 offences and plead not guilty - I’m guessing a second trial? Does that mean the first sentencing gets delayed so it’s all lumped into one?

If they’ve been convicted of the first set then I don’t think sentencing would be delayed, no. If it was earlier in the process then the offences might be tied together and one set would wait for the other to catch up, but not post conviction. If found guilty for the second set then the fact that they then had previous convictions (the first set) would likely be an aggravating factor for the second sentence.

Yeah found guilty of the first set. Just been charged with the second set. And another 8 offences at least but hasn’t been charged with this yet

I think that the other uncharged offences might be counted as TICs (taken into consideration) if they admit to them in interview. They are then considered in the sentencing. This often happens with things like burglaries etc

Refusing to plead guilty to any of them

Ah then it sounds like he will be going to court

When we went to the sentencing of the guy that killed a family member in a hit and run he was on remand for burglary but that wasn’t referred to and didn’t appear to form any part of the decision making process.

Different sentences can be given either consecutively or concurrently. He had several charges but the sentences were to be served concurrently, so although he got 2 years for one of the charges and 8 years for another he wouldn’t be in prison for more than 8 years in total.

I don’t know what happened after that in regard to his burglary charges

There will be a second trial, and the conviction and sentence for the first set of offences won’t be referred to in any way during the second trial. (There are some exceptions to this but they are fairly rare).

He will be sentenced for the first set after reports etc, and if he receives a custodial sentence he’ll start serving it while waiting for the second trial. If he’s convicted of the second set then his earlier convictions will be disclosed to the court before sentencing.

Ah that makes sense, so there could effectively be 3 trials
