He's hoping for a better answer.

Do you think they will understand his plea?

You can go to prison for GBH, however if you didn't mean to do it, this may be taken into consideration.

You say you did not throw the bottle at her, and yet it hit her back? So you meant to throw it at her, you just didn't mean to cause harm. There is a difference between GBH and GBH with intent, the latter being the more serious, so you would have to convince the jury that there was no malicious intent to cause GBH. This is very important.

There is a section 18 and a section 20 that cover GBH, the punishments for these differ largely and it all comes down to 'intent' to do harm, and whether you can prove this in a court of law. Section 18 requires intent, section 20 covers the harm done to a person from another and does not cover intent.

If you have convicted of a section 20, then the maximum sentence would be 5 years in prison. Or you may be fined, and not go to prison. A section 18 is more serious due to the intent to cause damage and you could go to prisn for any period the judge prescribes.

You must argue your lack of intent to cause GBH.

Reading some other posts you have written, it comes to my attention that it was a 15 year old you tryed to kick and threw a bottle at her head.

I think this will be a section 18 and prison for at least 5 years if convicted. Although the sentence handed down could be far more.

A translation of this question is avaialable if required!

At least if you go to prison you will be entitled to attend classes to learn English

I just think that it's a shame that people have to learn this way. Given the poor quality of English and grammar, not to mention someone getting upset about a 15 year old girl talking about your own girlfriend, I would expect this youth to only be around the age of 15 - 18. How can someone throw a bottle at someone and not intend for it to hit them? The answer in his circumstance is that he can't. We've all lost our temper, hell I'll get angry and throw a bottle, but not at somebody. The intent is justifiable as he wished; given the direction he threw the bottle (he wasn't in an alley way where he could only throw it in 2 directions, but an open field (I assume this was a wide-open field)) to hit the girl. Whether it was his intention to inflict physical pain upon her is not my judgement.
