very unlikely anne that's the tabloid story.

I think from memory 5 years is about the starting for adult GBH jeuvenile about half of that

I think the chances of a non custodial sentence for GBH are really small

I'd find it hard to believe that the lad wouldn't get a sentence.

Are you in private housing? Can you not talk to the police about your fears?

Well that gives you three days to talk to the police. Plus there's a chance it could get adjourned..

Guidelines here on GBH

http://www.cps.gov.uk...ily_harm_with_intent/

Cases with 17 year olds quoted involved stabbings and were generally of the 2-3 years basis - but one initially non-custodial but was overturned as unduely leniant on appeal by the CPS.

Difficult to say without further details but I think even if he got a non custodial sentence it would almost certainly be overturned on appeal.

Did he kick your husband in the head? that would be seen an an aggravating factor
