thanks everyone and watch this space x
It is a 5 year sentence but you’ll serve about 2 1/2 – 3 which is still a long sentence.
Change your solicitor if shes shit, is monday the first day of the trial? this will deffo go to croun and it will be trial by dury so you will have a good chance with the fleeing domestic violence ect. I’d defo tell your barister that it wasnt your fault ect.
A womans jail can be alot worse than a mans jail, for some reason women dont just get on with there time and get it over with they fight like cats and dogs, homosexuality & heroin is rife…
If you go down make sure you put your prison address up here I’ll defo wright to you coz letters in jail even if there about nothing and you dont know the person can be a life line. Contact with the outside world makles it alot easyer.
what kinda firearm was it?
as everyone else says, get a decent brief. if your story is true then a court will take that into account. the police just build a case on the evidence so if you tell them what was going on, they will put it all on you
i think it’s worth mentioning at this point that any women who is experiencing or in fear of domestic violence can go to the police and be placed in one of the many women’s refuge around the country. these are safe houses with support to be able get on with your life again
if your solicitor is shit fuck them off. This firm know thier stuff.
Birds Solicitors :group_hug
Sorry to hear this,
but please do be careful what you write on the net
it wouldnt be the first time something on a forum has been used in court as evidence –
you’ve pleaded not guilty but…… –
and your talking about the need to flea from domestic violence but I’m guessing its your photo in your avitar….. again it wouldnt be the first time someones been stalked / threatened on an online forum from an ex…….
from the sounds of it its defo worth getting a better solisitor
just be careful and do what ever you can to be safe :group_hug
seriously give Birds a call. my aunt and uncle are both v.good barristors and solicitors in laandann and he comes highly recomened. may as well give him a phone call. Steve was well on the ball when someone i know got into bother.
Just wanted to point this out again. They will help you and you will be protected. 🙂
yeah i did actually go to a womans aid refuge and then was moved to another one further away… im back in my own place now and am trying to rebuild my life… all this is just setting me back… well i will know after monday..tried to get hld of my solicitor today, she is not in until monday apparently (right lot of use that was). And as for secturity i have a police escort when i get to leeds to and from court, the court is a closed one and the police spoke about how my life is in danger in court last time. I have completely left my life behind, posessions everything and once this is over my new life will begin… and as for him stalking me online he is in prison for something else at the moment… jolly times
Thanks for all your support

Have you tried going to the Citizens Advice Bureau?
I would recommend doing so if you haven’t, and tell them EVERYTHING, and I mean everything. If they can help, they’ll do everything they can.
While I have no idea of the court system, I think it is best that you lay down all the cards on the table and come clean about absolutely everything to them. If you lie to them now and they catch you out of it then you’re most certainly screwed.
If you did lie in the first place because you’re life was under threat, I can’t see how they would still send you to prison for any length of time.. obviously I don’t know all the details, but from what I know, this would be a serious mistake dished out on you.
I wish you all the best, and hope that you are treated with sympathy.
Get a better lawyer – looks around for the one who is getting most of the dubious people’s business as no one knows a good laywer better than a persistent offender usually
Good luck with that :group_hug will keep my fingers crossed for you
Check the women’s aid folk as well – they my have a lawyer who is specialised in women who have gotten into trouble as a result of an abusive relationship – that could be very handy as they will know that area of law very well
phew….breaths a huge sigh of releif………
my solicitor went to court oin my behalf today…..he has made it so that i do not have to attend and its ben adjourned until the 11th of december ( yet again i do not have to attend ) hes writing to the cp to try and get it dropped……..watch this space…

sounds like he is working hard for you – best of luck
Best of luck mate! Don’t risk your liberty by sticking up for some blatent bellend. It’s these people who need to be off the streets, not you!
Be as honest and as open as you can and there’s a chance the judge will take pity.

keep yourself safe
glad to hear your breif has stepped up to the mark :group_hug
