Serial Pokemon Card Thief Sentenced by Magistrates in Cornwall This Week

Cornwall: Recently, several cases were heard by magistrates in Cornwall. Everyone charged with an offense starts here. Serious cases go to crown court. If someone pleads guilty, they might get sentenced right away or wait for a report. If they deny the charges, the case is postponed for a trial.

The courts are open to the public, and reporters attend to keep everyone informed. Most people can’t spend all day in court, so the media helps ensure justice is visible.
