my friend drove some people to a place so the other people could get something of a man and has been charged for wounding with intent and he was sat in the car when others were beatin the man up what is the sentence likely to be?

[New Judge]

About as long as the one in your question (but, hopefully, with a little more punctuation to make it easier to understand).

[randyraven]

Long I hope.

anything from 7 years to a max. Life sentence.

I'd fear the worse to be totally honest - that shows pre-meditation, sufficient mens rea of intention - basically a prosecuters wet dream.
