GBH section 20
charged with GBH section 18 and later dropped to GBH section 20 so pleaded guilty. My only record is for crimminal damage when I was 11 (broke school window) and possesion of cannabis when I was 15, I am now 18. I live at home and work full time.
probation have made a real mess of my PSR, i went last week and they stopped the interview as there was some confusion! I was asked to go back the next week, on my return the lady I saw was not there and they did not have me on the syste!!! I also found out the lady I had seen previously who told me I was goging to prison for 5 years had the wrong file and has mixed me up with someone else. I'm so depressed and confused, what will happen will i definatly geta custodial sentance or is there any hope of a suspended sentance. My self and my family are out of our minds with worry especiall my mum I don't think she could cope if I get sent down. please help.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.did you not think about your family when you committed the crime, but now all of a sudden,you do.the possible outcome could well be a prison sentence, but with todays judges,who knows,lets hope in the future you have learned to curb your aggression,because next time you might kill someone,then its throw away the key time for 15/18 yrs.
I don't think you're really helping anybody here Norman!
The difference between section 18 and 20 of the offenses against the person act is for the main one of intent.
It's a rather important difference because section 18 carries a maximum of life whereas section 20 has a maximum of 5 years.
If you take a look down this thread

You'll see I've posted some stats where basically about a third of cases got community service and something over a half got a custodial sentence.
I'd talk to a lawyer if I were you!

So what was your purpose in posting?
He didn't ask what do you think of me
Did you think he'd turn around and say "Oh thank you now you've pointed out the error in my ways I'll go forward and never be naughty again"?
You're simply getting vicarious kicks gloating over what you see as someone getting his comeuppence.
You've been told nothing of the circumstances and yet you feel justified in laying down the law
If you haven't got anything constructive save it for the News thread

thank you Jake I know I prob havent explained the circumstances leading up to the event and I appreciate your comment. There had been extreme provercation and it was never my intention to use any type of weapon and his injury was a 2cm cut which he had glued before discharging himself. I know it all sounds really bad but I can honestly say I am not a violent person and have never even been in a playground fight before never mind anything like this. I think it was the weeks and weeks of this bloke digging at me and I just snapped that day when he threatened to do me over. I know what I did was wrong but there is not one day that I do not regret what I did, not just for me but for him and my family.
a friend of mine was chrarged with section 18 assault a couple of years ago for putting someone in hospitaland this guy was in a worse state than just a cut that was glued. not that i am saying what you or he did was justifyed in any way. he recieved 250 hours community service and a �500.00 fine. he had no previous convictions.
i hope this helps
