depends on what they are charged with. They shgould be charged with section 18 but if not then a section 47. A section 18 (without intent) carries up to ten years a section 47 carries up to 5. She used a weapon and she has had previous. if she is found to be a danger to the public (re-offender) she could get an IPP. But with the way prison sentencing is going at the moment because prisons are full, she might just get a slap. She should get a custdial sentence - she bloody deserves one. You must find out what is going on and mither proseuction. Also write to prosecution and the judge stating that you are frightened of this woman and of her doing this again if she is let out (reprisal). As it gone to any kind of court yet i.e. magistrates or crown. If it goes to crown and she is found guilty and gets a custodial sentence till she is finally sentenced then it looks like she will go down - i hope she does. Hope you understood all this jargon.

My son was in a fight - he got sct 47 - he received 2 1/2 years. Hope i have helpoed a little

I imagine they have been charged with s20. She has bitten and also used a knife which she has deliberately armed herself with. There is really no alternative but custody. I would imagine the court will consider an IPP

[bullseye]

If they have not been charged with section 18 it will be section 20. Section 47 is only ABH and doesn't carry much of a custodial sentence.
If they are prosecuted with section 18 which is with intent i would expect them to receive a sentence of around 6 years. If it's a section 20 which is GBH without intent they will get around 2 to 3 years.
You should know though that in a lot of these cases they are offered a plea bargain when it goes to trial. What this means is that if they are willing to plead guilty to a lesser charge the prosecution will usually accept it, as it keeps the costs down.

Good luck!

My son was aid to have used a chair leg (he didn't) but they charged him with sct 20 and then it was dropped to sct 47 - thats why i said it COULD be a sct 47, which it could if they plea bargain.
