    He refused to appear for sentencing at Cardiff Crown Court on Monday and Tuesday.

    Oh, you can just refuse to appear for sentencing?

          Actually, any defendant in criminal proceedings can refuse to show up to sentencing. Most just don’t skip them, as you can plead with the judge for a lighter sentence or just say random shit you want without most trial rules applying.

      Yes you can just like you can groom 200 girls. It just doesn’t end well for you because you aren’t there to defend yourself
