Please can someone fill me in on a GBH charge going to crown court - what might happen?

The guy concerned is my lovely boyfriend who has no criminal record as an adult, only things when he was a minor. He has changed hugely since the fight in September - he's getting counselling, help with drink and drugs, got himself a job and now me!

I'm so worried he's going to be put away, I know the person he is now and not what he was then and when he was drunk!

Please help me

MAMJET - You obviously have no soul you foul person!!!
I have had so much rubbish in my life and so has my boyfriend, he is a lovely person despite this crappy thing he did!! The guy raped his sister

Well at least I know that I am living a good life and he soon will be once this is out of the way and you can carry on being a cold hearted and nasty human being.

The act he did was wrong, anyone can tell me that, but I am NOT asking for your views on this situation or your abuse towards me.

People like YOU should rot in hell for making others feel helpless and unwanted. I bet you're really lonely as you've got nothing better to do than come on here and judge others for their mistakes AS IF YOU'VE NEVER MADE ANY!!!!!
The guy raped his sister? Sorry, but I just dont believe you.

There's no need to lie to try and prove your point.

I'm sorry you've chosen such a violent thug to be your boyfriend. At least you'll get to travel. Wormwood Scrubs, Strangeways etc. etc.

It's not even worth arguing with you as I don't know you.
I am an honest person and what I say is the truth why should I lie to prove a point to someone I think is an idiot!?

Well anyone I know what's right and what's not so that is all that matters.

I will travel but more like New Zealand, Canada, Austrailia, Austria, Egypt, Doha, Goa, Thailand, Malasia, Dominican Republic, Dallas, Florida half of which I have already been to. I am doing well in my life thank you after a shocking start to it, and so is my boyfriend, so I think you should just go away now so helpful and kind people can give me answers to the question I am asking.

Goodbye Mamjet go do something productive with your time
ok, sorry.

dont come running to me when you get killed though.
Amy - you will be travelling the world without you boyfriend then, as he will not get visas to travel because he committed a serious crime. Raping someone is unforgivable! And his sister to boot??? My God! He is a moron and deserves punishment!!!!

LOL Mamjet, how will she run to you when she's asleep ....

gosh, I mean when she's dead.

NO! The guy he assulted raped my boyfriend's sister and punched my boyfriend in the back of the head!!!
My boyfriend is seeing his solicitor to try and get the charge dropped tomorrow as he was defending himself etc etc
"The guy he assulted raped my boyfriend's sister."

So, your boyfriend is a vigilante is he?

I think your boyfriend need a lot of help to sort himself out.

Maybe he will get help inside the prison system, maybe he won't.
he'll get help enlarging his anus, but apart from that I'm not sure.
and this guy punched my boyfriend in the back of the head causing him to fall to the ground. He went to punch him back but with the bottle in his hand the eneviatable happened... Your boyfriend must be very lucky last time i saw someone fall holding a bottle, the bottle smashed giving him a very nasty gash needing stiches.some people have all the luck ?
Amy sweetheart. Please try to ignore some of the comments made on here, you will only upset yourself.

Chris is very fair on here and will give very good advice. You are right, this is an Answer Bank and NOT an abuse bank.

In my humble opinion (and not being legally qualified) I think your boyfriend is doing very well to be admitting to his problem. Also if you have a look on the net there are courses that he could try. I think there is one called Alternatives to Violence and it isnt very expensive. If he goes to Court, armed with References, takes advice from his Solicitor AND Barrister, continues with his alcohol counselling, keeps his job, gets his mortgage then this will ALL go in his favour. He (unfortunately) must also be sorry for what he did to this vile man who raped his sister. If someone raped my daughter or my sister I would personally be held responsible for my actions.

I wish you the best.

I think I hear violins
"Help with drink and drugs"

"Minor possession of a bit of weed"

I am sorry Amy, but with such stupid statements, you will continue to get abuse from the moral majority.

Even hard core heroin users have trouble get help from the system. A once holder (NOT EVEN A USER!!!!!!) of some weed will not get nor need help.

I shall repeat with appendages.

1) This is a wind up

2) You really are stupid and realise not what you say.

3) (Linked with 2). Your boyfriend, your boyfriends brother, Your boyfriends brothers' girlfriend and indeed yourself are Jeremy Kyle fodder and do not need answerbank but moreover a damn good whacking!!!!


PS and a job.
why are folk so nasty on here. the poor girl is just asking for advice not nasty comments. It isnt her that has committed the crime at the end of the day. I doubt she is condoning her boyfriends behaviour either.

Katie.
I am afraid Donna that when a girl "Stands by her man" in such a strong way, then more often than not they are just as bad.

The poster has asked for help.

The best advice is, as said, ditch the tw@t
and get a proper haircut.
Question Author
Donna, thank you.
Some obviously informative replies. The following details another case which may be of interest to you:

MP's son jailed for bottle attack
A Tory MP's son who smashed a man over the head with a champagne bottle after an argument at a club has been jailed.

David Amess, 20, hit plumber Paul Trussler, 28, with the bottle at Talk Club, Southend, Essex, on 14 May.

In December 2004, jurors at Chelmsford Crown Court found Amess, son of the Southend West Tory MP David Amess, guilty of wounding with intent.

On Tuesday - at the same court - Amess was sentenced to four years in jail.

Pushing and shoving

In sentencing, Judge Charles Gratwick told Amess he had taken into account his previous good character, age and pre-sentence report.

The court heard Amess had been trying to impress a woman when the fight broke out.

He swung the bottle after some pushing and shoving between the two men, leaving Mr Trussler with a 4cm cut.

When interviewed by officers, he admitted hitting Mr Trussler with the bottle but claimed it was in self-defence.

Jock
The point of my previous message is that he is very likely to be imprisoned since using a bottle is considered to be potentially lethal.
However, whatever happens... I hope you can move forward with your lives together or apart as you choose.

Jock
