The judge doesn't want to see you blame it on the drink tho, he wants to see you hang your head in shame and apologise.
It's still weeks away for me and you're right I am shitting it. Just find it hard to think that I could end up in prison and all the grief that goes with that. It's so hard just to think about that. I know the CS from before looks bad but I can't do anything about that. If your mate got 6 months for a first offence I have no chance.
You might know if it would be Young Offenders or not? Somebody else said it would definitely be prison not YOI. Heard that 18-21 was Young Offenders. I know it doesn't make too much difference but just wondering. I'll be 20 then.
To be honets I don't know though I would have thought you too old for the YOI.
I've lmates who done bird for things such as drugs, death by dangerous driving, assualt etc. They've all come out ok, though none have said it was easy.
It's harsh that a simple fight can lead to the loss of your freedom but that's the chance you take. I've been fortunate when I've got in trouble and in fights. If you get caught using a bottle though, you have to expect the worst. I can see situations were that would occur but the fat cunts sitting in court won't.
Again good luck.
i thought i write this to find out what my chances are,anyways i went to a nightclub to help some friends (managers of the club)to move their gear out as they were moving on,so when we finished they got me a couple of beers,whilst drinking the owner appeared.(we do not get on)anyway he has been winding me over some time now for bout 3 yrs now,anyhow he tried to threaten me so i tried to walk away and as soon as i turned my back he walked towards me threatening to do me so i turned and punched him straight in the face and walked out of the club,so i later i get nicked they have it on cctv and NO witnesses (medical reports i broke his cheek bone) so i gotta go back to cop shop for a reinterview i need to no wot will happen to me will they release me or charge me?p.s i dunno if this makes a difference but i was cautioned for abh and not gbh with intent can i use that against them?
Just to say you might want to repost this as a new thread - this one is over a year old. Anyway, I''ll leave it see if anyone does respond but you might get more people replying with a new thread.
