Had A Fight, Got Seen By Police And Charged With Gbh With Intent

[hufc26]

Been charged with gbh with intent after a fight involving 12 or so people behind a rail station. We had 7 they had 5 or 6 and we were giving them a well earned tanning from an earlier incident. What happened next was the one police just appeared, and seen me hitting this lad with a baton/extender and it took out most of his front teeth, severed his lip almost off, all from just two strikes. Pretty unlucky that they witnessed this as its not an area covered by cctv, but thats it. I have 5 incidents on my record, but no jail time and I'm hoping to avoid again. The lad didn't press charges, states he just fell, but this copper saw it, which is the issue here and i was arrested running off.

Ill be getting a solicitor in the morning, have funds for a good one.

Personally the boys think I may go down this time, but no witnesses will come forward, just that one copper and who knows if they will be able to accurately recall. We've had similar situations but never a witness like this. What chance for jail time do people think?

(I don't care for any *** judgmental ***, we all live our lives how we do, and the lad injured was game.)

I presume we have to extend the courtesy for any offence.

is this a wind up ? the way the author has crowed about it, to me seems unreal. If it is true don't make any plans for this year's hols or xmas.
