A top lawyer has defended giving shorter sentences to criminals who plead guilty.

The remarks have come from Derek Ogg, the QC who is chairman of the Criminal Bar Association of the Faculty of Advocates.
He said: "It is an advantage to the family not to have to sit through a lurid and brutal set of evidence."
