Violent GBH Intent (Section 18) - Bail Conditions

Hi guys,

I was recently attacked by unknown assailants while returning home from a local public house. I endeavoured to defend myself and inflicted harm on several of my attackers.

Although I've entered a not guilty plea, my confidence of an aquittal is low - I'm probably facing around 6 - 9 years detention.

Anyway my question is thus: I'm currently monitored via an electronic tag as part of my bail conditions. I was wondering if time would be deducted from my sentence due to my 'home detention' time as it would if I were remanded in custody?

Thanks in advance guys. Have a great day!

Though not an expert, I would say no. Traditionally when on remand a prisoner would have their liberty removed by being in prison. As you are on a tag, common sense tells me that this is only a restriction of liberty and doubt it would qualify as equal in terms of being in prison. Indeed it is sometimes done as a condition of early release... Therefore I doubt that your sentence will be reduced due to being on a tag, assuming you actually get a custodial one that is...
