Thank you mayalynne hes got to learn now not to get involved with people like them, I'm just so relieved after 4 months of stress thinking he was going to get a minimum of 5 years but this is the best result and I thank his barrister for being very good defending him :),, also I apologise for being harsh on ab as I said I was under alot of stress, it's going to be hard not having him with me and his family for xmas and new year but we will have to be strong. thank u everyone for your advice.
If your BF had taken his barristers advice he would have had 1/3 taken off the 21 months for a guilty plea. So that drops it to 14 months , then the 4 months on remand is taken off dropping it to 10 months. Automatic release after 5 months and the last 2 months as 'home detention curfew' (tag) meaning he would have been out in 6 weeks.
Now he is inside 'for real' there will be changes to his prison regime. No unlimited visits no wearing his own clothes only prison uniform.
If you want to visit him he has to apply to get a 'visiting order' for you, you can't just see him anytime you want. You have to have a visiting order which he orders and the prison sends to you. One more thing, now he is no longer on remand can only send very limited amounts of money to him.
It has to be in the form of a postal order made out to the guvnor of the prison he is being held in.( Remand prisoners can have unlimited cash sent to them. )

“I just do not see where this guilty of section 20 has come from”
It comes from the jury believing that he had committed Grievous Bodily Harm without intent.
Actually his insisting on a trial has cost him more time inside than Eddie calculates.
Assuming he had pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity (which in practice would have been as soon as the lesser charge was offered) he would have been entitled to a full third off his sentence, thus reducing it to 14 months. He would have been released automatically at the halfway point (no “good behaviour” necessary so I don’t know where that suggestion came from). This means he would be released after 7 months. “Home Detention Curfew” gives in 90 days (approximately three months) off of that meaning he should serve 4 months, which he has already served on remand. So he would have been “coming home” almost immediately.
As it is now he will need to serve 10.5 months with three months benefit from Home Detention Curfew. So 7.5 months, less the 4 months spent on remand means that by insisting on a trial, against legal advice, has cost him 3.5 months inside.
