It’s time for court news from Cornwall. Magistrates handle all cases at first. Serious cases go to a higher court. If someone admits guilt, they get sentenced. The court might delay sentencing for reports.

If they deny it, they have a trial later. Court sessions are open to the public. Reporters are like public observers there. They share court happenings with everyone.
