Help me im in court tommorrow and very scared!

[pinkbunny]

If anyone could help me I would be most greatful,
I have to appear in court tommorrow as a witness the story is my ex partner is a nutcase and beat me and my 6 year old daughter on a regular basis, we had no one to turn to and eventually managed to break free and flee to a refuge. Now a year on the trial starts tommorrow, he is charged with abh on me and my daughter battery x2 on me and perverting the course of justice. I am so terrified of being in court near him and he has gone not guilty on all charges so it is now being herd at crown court with a full jury. I dont know why he has gone not guilty when there is medical evidence to prove my injuries I really dont understand why he is putting me through all this. He has horrendous previous for battery burglary common assalt gbh abh assault on a police officer possesion of drugs and weapons avaiding arrest driving without due care leaving the scence of an accident and so on.
If he is found guilty how long is he likely to get in prison if he goes? Me and my daughter need to move on with our lives without him being a threat anymore, any words of advice or support would be most greatfully recieved.

Hi Pinkbunny, Just been thinking about you and your court case. I know you mentioned October - has it been and gone or do you still have it to look forward to? Hope everything is going well for you.

Hey Sanden!!
No court has not started yet its in just over a week! Not sure how I feel about it to be honest nervous scared even excited??? I am just looking forwards to it all being over and finally moving on with my life!
The policeman in charge of the case came over last night and said that my ex was grasping at straws he has asked for my previous history which there is nothing! He has also asked for the previous records of the 6 police men and women giving evidence against him to try and prove that they are bent!
Basically he is panicking because the evidence against him is overwhelming and with his previous he is looking at a hefty sentence. But I just want justice for my girls they are the ones that have been hurt the worst emotionally over this but fingers crossed they get justice at least!
I will keep you posted though but thanks for thinking of us x x

Good luck to you for the case. It will be so good to get it over and done with, and you can all get on with your lives. Sounds like it is clear cut.
Let us know how things go.
