Golriz Ghahraman had nothing to say to media as she left the Auckland District Court today.

The former Green Party MP has pleaded guilty to four counts of shoplifting at high end boutiques in Auckland and Wellington.

A sentencing date has been set down for June 24.

Herald reporter Katie Harris was in court, and says Ghahraman was very solemn- but didn't show much emotion.

"There wasn't any tears going on that we could see, she was pretty quiet, she sat behind me before she went into the dock and I didn't hear or see any real outburst of emotion."
