Is there an English version of this?

[Flyhalf]

You should be up for murder of the English language!
Can you slow down, take a breath, and put It in chunks (paragraphs) more easily digested?

I've noticed everyday we get similar stories posted by newly registered posters. It makes me wonder how genuine they might be. I'm not saying they are not, but, it's just a pattern in my observation.

Ditto Society.

I can't understand a word of what happened but, S18 is GBH WITH Intent .
GBH WITHOUT intent is section 20.
Section 18 is always a prison sentence, section 20 gives you a chance of a non custodial sentence though prison is still possible.
Section 18 is a lot more serious, you really need to be sure which one you are charged with. S 18 or S 20.
If I understand correctly you left the pub after a fight, went home and got a hammer, while heading back to the pub with the hammer you were arrested.
Sorry, that looks to me like Section 18, you are looking at around 3 years in prison, your 'previous' will count against you even though it was not for violence.

If I get it right, you haven't been charged. No worry yet. The police are still trying to find witnesses and get witness statements. Until they do, nobody will know what you're facing. Then if they charge you, come back on here, but do split your post into blocks of a few lines. On your account you haven't committed any offence; you seem not to have started a fight and only fought back; apart from, apparently, having an offensive weapon, a hammer, in a public place

[EDDIE51]

Fred, the 1st line of the question says he is on bail for section 18 GBH. I thought that he is saying he has been charged. I know it's almost impossible to understand with out a single instance of punctuation , but that's how I read it. I am still not certain this is not a 'wind up' the grammar is so bad I suspect it may be intentional.

[FredPuli43]

I read it as arrested for s20 (s18 "without the intent" ?) but bailed to return to the police station.Well, it's something or other.

[EDDIE51]

I thought the 'with out' was just one of the countless typos and it should read S18 GBH ' With' intent. Hope the questioner can get back with more information.

[WyeDyed]

Well you have just insulted to two most useful contributors on this thread.
Good luck, you're gonna need it.

[kerryjohn1980]

how do u work that out i said mark was sound that edie dont know Sugar

[FredPuli43]

You may have noticed that law books you were reading had punctuation, full stops and stuff. Your account is very difficult to understand when it is one long unpunctuated piece.

Your previous convictions will not go in evidence in a trial, as a rule. Exceptionally they may do, but basically only if they go to proving something important in the trial. They can't be put in evidence simply to show you have been violent before and so you must have been an attacker and guilty this time ! That wouldn't be fair or logical

've gt a realy bad recorde aswell so this is my concern cos if i go nt gulity nw thay can use my recordes as a bad charicter'

[EDDIE51]

Just one piece of advice , when/if this comes to trial Do Not try to speak on your own behalf or conduct your own defence !!
If you do try to do that it will be a gift to the prosecution , your story has more holes than a sieve .

Sounds like the Landlord is backing the person up. If he says a knife was used, you will be looking at 5 years minimum. You need good legal advice on this case. I would think that this will be a long case.
