"Northcott’s barrister, Harry Bentley, said the coach driver was
"desperately sorry" for Roman's death “and at times he has
considered ending his own life because of it.""

It's necessary to wonder how much his sentence was reduced by this
grovelling. (Compared to 18 months for Charlie Alliston for not
grovelling - and the court seeming to accept that it was the victim
that hadn't paid attention.)

Pleading guilty at the earliest opportunity (that is, once the
charges and evidence have been made available and the strength of the
prosecution case thereby known) and saving the Crown the expense of
a trial is always taken into account as a mitigating factor.

When did Alliston plead guilty?

By any chance do you put posts you read through an English to Scouse
translator, compose your replies in Scouse and translate them back to
English before posting? If you came clean it would explain a great deal.

a) The question I raised was about grovelling, not about admission of
guilt.
b) The coach driver pleaded not guilty but was found guilty by a jury.
