Young Female With Previous Caution For Violence, Glasses A Guy In The Face, Is She Likely To Get A Prison Sentence?
21 year old female glasses a guy in the face in a pub when drunk, a couple of deep gashes.
She was cautioned by the police for beating up another female a few months ago.
In and out of employment all the time.
Whats the likelihood of her doing time? I doubt she can claim self defence.

I'm unsure why PP has posted a link about Australian law! If the charge is one of 'ABH' (rather than 'GBH' or 'GBH with intent'), see pages 11 to 14 here: http://www.s entencingcou ncil.org.uk/ wp-content/u ploads/Assau lt_definitiv e_guideline_ -_Crown_Cour t.pdf The use of a glass as a weapon almost certainly pushes ' culpability' into the 'higher'...

Chris and Eddie can indeed paste the law, but as Chris has said, any forecasts of what might happen are simply educated guesses. Every case is different and this is especially so of offences like this. There will be far more information available to the court than we have here so a roghh guess is the best that can be expected.
