Why judges are not willing to hear from persons or girls arrested on prostitution case?
In court if an accused in the prostituion case wants to say something against what for they have been arrested, the judges are going on increasing the fine amount and they are not allowing the accused to speak and compelling them to accept the case registered by police. Even the mobile court also is not allowing people charged for violation of traffic rules and simply compell them to accept the charge and pay the amount as fine. Why?
Answers:
When I was arrested and charged with prostitution, my lawyer did not let me speak at the hearing because she knew that I was guilty and I would either have to admit I was guilty and dig my hole deeper or lie and that's a whole other can of worms (but, of course, I wouldn't lie because I can't). So, I basically sat back and watched the police, the judge, and the lawyer fight it out and ended up being found guilty of a lesser charge. I was upset that I didn't get to say anything, but I think for an average person in a courtroom setting, it was probably for the best.
Simple expediency. Most are guilty and to keep the penalties feasible and the timeline in court to a minimum they offer lower penalties.those who want to speak up will end up paying a higher price if convicted. Point of it is the police' case is probably very strong and the judges are merely giving those who are guilty a chance to get off wtih a lower penalty.
Maybe they don't want to be called by their first name in court ..
You may be confusing two different types of court appearances.
It seems to me you are talking about the judge not wanting to hear excuses or explanations at a preliminary hearing. If that is what you are referring to, the judge is right not to listen to the explanation.
A preliminary hearing is not a trial, just a chance for you to plead guilty or not guilty. Most people who insist on talking at those hearings wind up hurting themselves rather than helping themselves. By not letting you explain there, the judge is probably doing you a favor.
At an actual trial, you will have a chance to explain yourself. But, you have to go thru the preliminary hearing first.
