Your advice is sound Thermo, but you'll appreciate I'm not a "career criminal", not been in court lots of times before. I could pick any solicitor in this town but how would I know they're any better than the court duty? Also I'm not trying to "get away with it", by means of a good brief or anything else. I think the crime stands for itself, I just have to accept and take what's coming to me. I hope on the day I will be able to say what I have to, no solicitor will be able to express that in my own words, which is what I hope to do.
