You represent Denise, who is charged on an indictment with ten counts. Counts 1 and 2 are in the alternative and relate to the same credit card. Count 1 alleges theft of the card. Count 2 alleges dishonestly receiving it. Counts 3 to 10 each allege that Denise used the card fraudulently to purchase goods. Denise has been remanded in custody pending her PTPH. You have a conference with her in prison during which she instructs you that she stole the card and that she used it to purchase all the goods specified in Counts 3 to 10. She also tells you that she does not wish to be produced at court because she fears losing her place in her current prison cell and would prefer to be arraigned over a live link or for you to enter pleas on her behalf. What is the correct advice to give Denise?
