My cousin and a group of freinds have been arrested for abh on a man on the bus, the victim suffered a few bruises and a bloody nose, the police have got the jacket he wore on the day of the offence, the oyster card used to get on the bus, cctv and 1 witness being a relative of the victim, also he have been identified in the id parade. what is the posible outcome for him as it is his 1st offence and is aged 16. the solicitor says he is looking for Youth offending team, but what do you guys think?

Thanks alot.

Can you expand on why this 'gang' assaulted one male and the approx age of the victim.

Also, I take it your 'cousin' lied to the police during police interviews.

im not sure why the fight started, but the victim stood up first, so then meaning he was willing to fight, the appox age of viction is 25-30. and my cousin said no comment all the way through
Hi trickze, sorry, a no-comment interview would also result in the possible requirement for an ID parade.

Youths commonly receive a Reprimand and a referral to a Youth Offending Team program for first time offences (for core crime) and it difficult to give you guidance without knowing the motive for the assault. However, there are many aggravating features disclosed in this case (group against one, offence committed in public etc) and therefore charging the offenders to be dealt with by a court can not be discounted. (The solicitor should be aware of current disposal trends in your area as I note advice was given).

Sorry, I can not really give you any accurate advice, hopefully somebody with more experience with dealing with youths can,
Blimey I keep missing parts out on my replies, this is what i intended on posting:

Hi trickze, sorry, I wrongly assumed your cousin lied during formal interviews because he stood on an ID Parade. A no-comment interview would also result in the possible requirement for an ID parade. If I am honest, it does concern me that you know that the victim stood up first and a witness is a relative but more importantly you are unsure of why the assault occured.

Remind me not to stand up on a bus where your cousin is!
makes getting off the bus a bit tricky Mr Veritas ...
"My cousin and a group of friends..." Do you mean a gang assaulted a man on a bus for having the temerity to stand up to a group of yobs?
Your cousin will probably get off. But he doesn't deserve to be treated so lightly.
At least someone will ...
I did it once. A group of gobby girls shouting and swearing on the bus.

I said...shut the Fluff up, if one of you Fluffing fluffs swears in front of my kid again I'll Fluffing kick your Fluffing heads in...
Is that how you got the black eye and the cut lip, Ummmm?
Only joking, that was a brave thing to do. Well done.
The cousin needs locking up along with his friends, this gangland culture has to stop somewhere and just because a man stood up in the bus for some reason or other, it doesnt mean they assault him, sad b*stards!!! Lock em up and beat them until they realise that what they done is wrong!
Another scumbag with low -life mates.16 years of age fighting in a group against one individual. How brave , what happened to 1 to 1 stuff.?
Too cowardly for that I presume.
Hope he will get a Criminal Record which will stay with him .
Absolutely no excuse for behaviour like this which seems to the norm these days from teenage morons.
I didn't really Sandy :-)

I did give them evils though.
Oh well its a shame but my long, truth based and all factual comment seems to have been deleted maybe due to the harsh true reality which I very....boldly expressed my true feelings about.

All these group of people are and that is speaking highly of them following there low and actions which show them as the scum which they are making themselfs out to be.

I really hope for the victim's sake at the very least a custodial sentence of 6 months minium is imposed upon all those invovled.
Monkey...there are no 'answers removed' in this post. Are you sure you submitted it?
quite certian, well it was at least the length of an a4 paper or something similar, ill see if its somewhere in another post but basically all I am saying is, the attackers are absolute scum who deserve nothing except / nothing less than a 6 month minimal custodial sentence to enforce the law and prove that actions such as these have consequences which no doubt are not thought will be used
C'mon...the bloke did stand up. Didn't you know that it's really really offensive to stand up on a bus..!!!

(joking of course)
To the opening poster. Your 'cousin' is a tw@t. If you are actually talking about a real person then I hope he gets banged up where he ends up someones b1tch!

If this is you we are discussing, then my god ain't you a hardman? Gang vs 1, nails!!

I don't really care what joke sentance the court pass. It ain't gonna be enough. People like your cousin are weak and scared. You want courage look at the nurses in any A&E department on a friday night. You want strength look at the athletes that represent this country. You want loyalty look at the military medics in Afghanistan who will make themselves targets to draw fire away from the casulaty they are treating. You want respect then you EARN IT!!!

Gangs are a joke, and the kids in them are more stupid than a truck full of manure! Grow up, and tell your cousin to man up, dry his eyes and accept his punishment like a real human!

Great, you're whingeing, excuse-making post has now p1ssed me off on what is a lovely day!
In response to bob's humuours yet absolute without a doubt nothing further from the truth, well i am highly doubtful that upon getting that custodial sentence which he should get due to the facts and because of the way hes acted in the manner of "theres more of us than of you therefore were going to intend ABH upon you for that quite simple reason therefore those who are of the older age who are inmates in the y/o he is going to be sent to spend the time set in custody see that he is the idiotic wanna be that he really is and treat him as he is a lone person against a group
Cheers NM, but don't you know this kid is probably a gangsta and a soljaboy.
W@nksta and a sodomite more like.

I notice trickze hasn't responded since. Maybe he's realised that his bruvvas aint' all that.
