"The right to make a plea in mitigation in Australia is absolute": syntax.
[edit]The right to make a plea in mitigation in Australia is far from absolute. If I were stitched up, and I demanded to be able to make a plea in mitigation in Australia, the judge would probably bang me up extra for contempt of court, even if he wanted to transport me to Australia. Watch out for the position of relative clauses! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Froggo Zijgeb (talk • contribs) 15:41, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
