I'd have thought they'd want less fuss, so would offer him a deal...but you're right, I don't think he'd accept anyway. The media circus is all he's got.

This is the UK. We don't do plea bargains. There are sentencing guidelines which include giving credit for an early guilty plea but, in this case, I doubt it will make much difference to whatever sentence he eventually gets.
