malious communication

[bigbird40]

if i get convicted of malisous communication whats the sentance, and if i have pleded not guilty how can i prove the truth with no evidence

Its for the accuser to prove on the balance of probabilities (civil legal case) that you are guilty. Ask yourself what evidence the accuser has.

[Aloysius535]

You need to know the allegation against you and the evidence supporting it. You can then determine what you can provide to negate the allegation.

e.g. If it is communication by telephone you may be able to show that at the time of the alleged call/text you were with people who can state that you were not calling or texting.

It remains the prosections job to prove you did it but you need to be ready to deal with the accusations. See a solicitor who can advise you best with all the facts/allegations to hand.

The penalty is a fine not a prison sentence.

What have you been charged with?

[buildersmate]

'Charges' relate to criminal cases - this is civil.

if it's for your spelling, then you'll get sent down straight away.

Buildersmate, I don't do much crime these days, but I understand that there is a criminal charge under Communications Act 2003 - s127 I think. I wonder if that is what bigbird is referring to.
