Sentencing date and having to check courts listings daily!
Notifications OFF
Our son had his probation report interview on the 28th April, the probation officer then called him later that day and said that they had contacted the crown court and we have a sentencing date of 5th of May.
Well that never happened, we were then told that we had to check courts listings daily after 4pm and his solicitor would contact him after 4pm, only if he was in court the following day!
so everyday, since the 5th May, we check the court listings to see if our son is on there. We are extremely lucky that myself and my husband both work for a lovely family run business who we have had to tell that we won't be in work one of the days as an important appointment will be coming up for our son and we will only have the evening before notice, our employer knows we are going through something awful with our son who was arrested, but that's all they know.
How on earth can Crown Court that deals with the most serious cases be ran so unorganised is beyond belief!
Is this totally normal round the country? Will we have to check if our son is going to be sentenced the next day for months? How on earth are you suppose to plan anything!
Just fed up and want this to be over now, as so far no media, so noone knows, but the longer this goes on, the more lies we have to upkeep!

Hi heartbrokenmum,
I was thinking of you the other day wondering how things were going for you. A step forward with the probation report being done but the next part sounds very much up in the air for you.
With an asc diagnosis you would think they could plan better so he knows actually when the next bit will happen and as a family you can prepare. I bet you just want this next bit over with.
Great your employer is being supportive.
