1. On 21 July 2003, the Applicant pleaded guilty in the District Court before Deputy Judge Candy to charges of burglary and doing an act tending and intended to pervert the course of public justice. When the facts had been outlined and admitted, mitigation was advanced which plainly indicated that the Applicant had mental problems. The judge then ordered psychiatric and psychological reports, amongst others, in order that the appropriate method of sentence could be properly determined.
