Looking at the "facts" of the case, you should have this one off pat, just pretend your giving evidence against your favourite Bolton Midfielder....TANGODANCER wrote:Now that was pretty smart Brucie.Bruce Rioja wrote:And don't forget to ask the judge if he'd like to buy a copy of The Watchtower.
He drunk, he's been fecking drunk for the best part of two and a half years. He has no fecking spatial awareness, can't drive forwards or back, never wins from a standing start at the lights because he has no fecking pace. He stays in the same lane on the motorways coz he doesn't know how to pass anything, Oh and did I mention he has no positional sense otherwise he wouldn't have hit my fecking car, which although was only at about 10 MPH, is the hardest thing he's hit all season.....
Easy peasy

Correct. The solicitor should have an idea whether you're first up or last up for the days running order - they can't/don't actually guarantee that you'll be on tomorrow btw....keep any reciepts for travel etc. you can claim them back along with day subsistence etc.Batman wrote:might take my camera, and add some choice shots to the TW album

In all probability you won't get to make an appearance. You'll be sat outside the court for an hour and then the CPS will come to you and tell you that you can go now. The 'defence' side will be wanting to test you simply to see if you show up. If you don't show then their client gets off scott free but if you do they will throw their hand in and plead guilty. Don't sweat over it.
If you do have to give evidence then the procedure is that the CPS gets to ask you questions first and then the defence gets a go. Just stick to your guns and give positive answers. Don't waffle and say 'I think so' etc.
And don't forget to fill out your expenses sheet and hand it in before the trial.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

-NOT, happens in majority of cases. I think there should be legislation passed that says if you change your plea on the day of the fecking hearing you get double bubble on your punishment and 14 days in the nick for wasting every feckers time.Batman wrote:son of a bitch

The guidelines say that the sentence should be reduced by no more than a tenth if the guilty plea is "at the door of the court" or after the trial has started.Worthy4England wrote:-NOT, happens in majority of cases.
