00:00Mr Hogg, you have admitted your guilt. Are you prepared to say sorry? You're a convicted

00:11domestic abuser. You haven't yet apologised. Have you shown any remorse?

00:26The report recommends a Caledonian men's programme. But there is a difficulty with that, and that

00:33is the fact that you're non-resident in the United Kingdom. That requires personal attendance,

00:40and therefore, from what I'm told, I can't impose that at the moment. I'm not prepared

00:47to defer matters until March, until there's clarity about whether or not you'll be returning.

00:53So I'm going to defer sentence in respect of that matter to the 9th of January for clarification

01:01as to whether or not I can impose a community order with supervision, which will be monitored

01:05remotely.

01:06Mr Hogg, you have admitted your guilt. You've never shown any remorse. Would you like to

01:07say sorry? Would you like to say sorry, Mr Hogg?

01:08I'm not going to talk to you, I'm not going to talk to you, I'm not going to talk to you.

01:38I'm not going to talk to you, I'm not going to talk to you, I'm not going to talk to you.
