Very Serious Family Issue
hi a couple of months ago there was a family argument which has lead me getting charged for section 18..the story goes like this my brother was being aggressive and violent towards my mother he had punched through walls and a door and my tv, I went into my kitchen and slipped with a glass in my hand and it flew at him ( this was unintentional ) as he was still in rage he started lashing out at me trying to place my head on the counter with all the broken glass, I managed to get him off me as my mum came in hysterical. he went into the living room being violent towards my mum again as I herd screaming and shouting at this time I was cleaning the kitchen of all the broken glass . and on the side there was a knife I picked up to clean the sides and I herd my mum scream and start crying . I ran into the living room without knowing I still had the knife in my hand he chucked something at me ( no idea what it was ) . by this time I though to my self get him out of the house and tell him to go for the night to someone else's house for it to all calm down so I went back of around the back of the house as I could not get past as my mum was in the way so went around to the from still not knowing I had the knife as it wasn't the first thing on my mind , I came to the front of the house and he chucked a wheelie bin at me I dived over it to stop it hitting me and the knife puncherd his body . all my family are on my side and want to make statements on how vindictive he is .My solicitor has put a plea in for section 20. although my brother has dropped charges "cps" have decided to go along with the case .If I go to prison there are many thing in the way as Im a 21 year old apprentice nearly finished my apprentice in a world renowned company which ill lose if I go prison I also have to pay my apprenticeship fees if I go prison . ill be In debt as I had to get a loan out for car insurance I have my phone bill to pay which I wont be able to pay any of them if I lose my job . there is one last factor my "brother" will lose nearly all his family if I go to prison 80% of them said they would disown him. So there's a family on stake with the judges decision .Could I please have your views? many thanks

yes I was I as like to look after the home I live in , do you really think that my brother would be out on the streets if my family thought he was the victim as I am on bail ( no contact with him) so I left on my own steam and when he started blackmailing people as he said to my dad I charged at him , he wanted money for him to say that In court my dad was not having any of it chucked him out so I could come back
