Common assauly (battery)

[Lil-del-drop]

I have been charged for common assault and am at court tommorow, at first i thought it would be ok but my solicitor said it will not be that good as i have been charged with GBH 3times ABH once and have just finished a 9month refferal order and 150 hours Community service could i have some advice on what might happen so i am prepared??

[zzxxee]

custodial im afraid

[Lil-del-drop]

how long do you think???

[NORMANTHEDOG]

pack a bag sunshine and lets hope they put you away for a long time,scumbags like you beating people up all the time need to be taken off the streets.

Here is the CPS sentencing page

http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/section15/chapter_ p_09_03.html

6 months is the maximum - you can read the aggreavating and mitigating factors for yourself.

You know the details but given your history you're likely to be seen as a danger to the public.

Do you know what an IPP is? It basically means you get banged up and not let out until you can show you're no longer a danger to the public.

If this had been a GBH with intent you might well have gotten one. That's a very very long stretch.

Don't take my word for it though. Talk to your solicitor about what would have happened if it had been another GBH, ask him about IPPs and have a real long think about what that would mean.

Then, if you haven't already look at anger management and/or alcohol councilling (I'm guessing here but booze is involved in a lot of violence cases)

It'll go down well with the court if you're seen to realise that you've got problems and are trying to do something about them.

It also might just keep you from ending your days inside think of this as a last warning not a luck escape

[Iamblue]

Another low-life let back on the streets. Unbelievable what you have to do to get put away these days.

[Bbbananas]

male or female - the streets would be a better place with the likes of you off them.

[Bbbananas]

makes the bum rape comment more amusing though!!

[zzxxee]

so what happened in court if you did not get custodial?

[Lil-del-drop]

i had my reasons for doing wht i did, i got 12months probation, 150 hours cs n �200 fine

[Bbbananas]

Maybe you did have your reason - who are we to judge you? But on every occasion could you justify it?

[Lil-del-drop]

lol corse iv got a boyfriend bin wiv him 2n a hlf yrs even tho its nothin to do, i cant justify everythin iv done but the ABH common assault n the thing i was put on a referal order 4 i can but the rest was wen i was young and daft like 3 years ago wen i was about 15
