Hi I know it's been a while just an update witnesses are ready for court but still there statements do not match, the cps have not released the evidence it has taken them since august, but this evidence is my boyfriend clothes with blood on which I believe is his own blood where he was tried with a metal bar that the cps have a photo of, also police statements do not match and the key witness is in prison for assaulting a women he is in the same prison as my boyfreind, suspicions are being raised now because that witness has told an inmate to Tell my boyfriend if my boyfreind gives that witness £400 he will drop the charges why would he blackmail my boyfreind it just proves that witness has assaulted the women that my boyfreind was supposed to have assaulted, the witnesses also said there was no arguments but the neighbour heard the arguments is this beginning to prove they are covering for the witness who is in prison?

Your post is very hard to understand correctly , can you put it into sentences with full stops? Sorry but it really needs to be fully and correctly understood and I am struggling.
If the witness statements do not match then, as you have been told, they will be cross examined on them in court.

I assume you have a solicitor ? If so what does he/she say about this?

His solicitor said he most definitely has a case.one of the witnesses is also in prison for assaulting his gf and has blackmailed my bf to give that witness £400 and he will drop the charges.

In order to blackmail your boyfriend the witness must have something to blackmail your boyfriend with!

Is it blackmail or is the witness just saying 'give me £400 and I will forget about it'

Which is totally different.

I am afraid you will just have to leave this to your BF's solicitor, there are many aspects to this case that make it complex. We really can't do much other than offer general advice As I have said , if the witnesses make conflicting statements they WILL be found out in court and revealed to be lying. The blood and the metal bar will be VITAL evidence, the DNA the blood contains and the DNA on the bar will prove whose blood it was and who handled the bar. Those DNA samples alone will probably be the main reason your BF is found guilty or not guilty!

Yes the witness is trying to say if my bf gives him £400 he will drop his statement

The witness who is in prison was on bail for assaulting his gf the day before the incident happened with my bf. He has a record of assaulting women but the judge know these 3 people who accused my bf and they have a history of convictions robbery, assault etc

The latest question from 1991sw has disappeared, can I assume this was a wind up all along? It was becoming increasingly unbelievable! But many of us had spent a lot of time trying to be helpful.

Eddie may I ask a question? What does it mean If the prosecution barrister tells the judge its not good evidence meaning the 3 witnesses giving their evidence

Eddie - 1991sw asked how to delete her thread, someone obviously saw that and acted on it for her.

EDDIE51

1991sw I explained that twice on the deleted thread !
It means the statements of the witnesses did not match so that part of the evidence is not good. (It would be 'good' if all 3 matched exactly.)
But, as I also explained at least three times, this case WILL NOT depend on the statements of 3 witnesses, who as you say are all unreliable, untrustworthy or involved in some way.
There is other far more reliable evidence in the form of DNA.
Your BF's blood stained clothing and the bar that was used as a weapon both have DNA on or in them. That DNA will have been analysed, it will prove who's blood it was and the DNA traces on the bar will prove who touched or handled it. If your BF touched the bar then his DNA will be on it, if he did not touch it then his DNA will not be on it. Very simple but very efficient and reliable. (unlike a witness with a grudge! )
Your BF's barrister will have seen the DNA evidence that is going to be presented. I am pretty sure that is a main reason he advised a guilty plea to S20.
If your BF had been sufficiently sensible to accept the guilty plea to S20 he almost certainly would not have been sentenced to more time in jail. He would be sentenced to'time served' . That means the time he has spent on remand would be counted as his sentence and he would be released after the trial. But he has decided to plead not guilty and go for a full trial on the S18. Being found guilty to S18 is ALWAYS a jail sentence of several years!
I told you all of this on the deleted post but you chose not to listen!
