Where an offender does not place before the sentencing judge any material indicating an earlier intention to plead guilty to s 32 offences, and does not lodge a Form 11 until a late stage, the sentencing judge is entitled to apply the same guilty plea discount to the s 32 offences as to the indictable offence.
