What are you not understanding, you seem to be repeating the question?

[bednobs]

i also don't really get what you are asking. You say you don't know what to do - my advice would be to turn up in 2 weeks

[cassar26]

i am so worried i am working do u guys think it will be custidy startight away?

[jackthehat]

If the Probation Service are recommending a Suspended sentence and a Tag......why are you asking us if you'll go straight to Prison.

Your legal team together with the Probation Service will have a far better idea than anyone here can possibly have....

You would have done well to have asked your solicitor that question who is familiar with more of the facts than AB is. Will you have the same solicitor, may it be worth calling them?

Good luck.

Cassar, mitigation as follows:-

Four personal mitigating factors that are relevant to this type of offending:

Voluntary cessation of offending, especially where accompanied by a genuine expression of remorse.
This may depend upon the time that has elapsed since the commission of the last offence and the reasons why an offender stopped offending. Where it was because of a heightened fear of discovery or the fact that the additional funds were no longer needed, a court may conclude that the degree of mitigation is negligible or that this factor should not be taken into account at all.

Complete and unprompted disclosure of the extent of the fraud. This amounts to ready co-operation with the authorities, which the Council has recognised as offender mitigation. The point at which the disclosure is made and the degree of assistance given to the authorities, should determine the amount of mitigation.

Voluntary restitution. The point at which an offender voluntarily returns property or money obtained through fraud will be important and, the earlier it is returned the greater the degree of mitigation the offender should receive.
Financial pressure. Whilst many are motivated by greed or a desire to live beyond legitimate means, others may be motivated by financial pressure. In principle, financial pressure is a factor that neither increases nor diminishes an offenders culpability in relation to any type of dishonesty offence, including fraud. However, where financial pressure is exceptional and not of the offender's own making, it may in very rare circumstances constitute offender mitigation.

Hint


Voluntary restitution. The point at which an offender voluntarily returns property or money obtained through fraud will be important and, the earlier it is returned the greater the degree of mitigation the offender should receive.

There are simply too many to take into account for an accurate answer Cassar, but try and work on mitigation, e.g, character testimony, early offer of repayment etc.

oops 'There are simply too many factors to take into account..
