[sara3]

the evidence and witnesses

[MarkRae]

You mean like every other case presented to them for consideration, sara...?

[Paul22118]

Assuming you mean the likely charge, I think the loss of three teeth (permanent) and the tissue damage to ones mouthin the removal of them would be Grievous Bodily Harm. Whether the case is provable of course we don't know as you have not given any circumstances. But if you did it and are guilty start saving your pocket money now.

The loss of teeth counts as 'ABH'. See the relevant information, from the CPS website, here:
http://www.cps.gov.uk...he_person/#P189_14382

Sentencing guidelines for ABH are on page 17 of this document:
http://sentencingcoun...person_accessible.pdf
The sentences there refer to a first-time offender who is convicted after a trial. An early guilty plea can see a reduction in the sentence. (In the case of a custodial sentence that would be by one third, but that's almost certainly not relevant in your case). A Community Order will be imposed.
