If somebody was charged with arson with intent and reckless as an alternative would they be sentenced for only 1 or the other ? At trial i thought the intention was to decide during the 4 day trial which way they were heading (as quite a big difference in sentencing ).
On day 1 of the trial both defendants changed plea to guilty ,when i contacted the court to ask which they went guilty for the case management said both intent and reckless ,has been adjourned for presentencing reports .
Now without a trial does that mean as pleaded guilty for both they will be sentenced for both as seperate offences ?
