Any have any experience of writing a character reference for court? Is there a particular format, what needs to go in it, who i am, my relationship to the offender and my opinion of the sort of person they are, anything else?

Hi Maria.. ref court character refs i put in what a horrible despicable cruel evil crime this was. Those poor unfortunate kids.that i cudnt get my head round my lad looking at them..you really cant play it down.. then what good character in general he was. Any mitigating factors..ie drugs alcohol abuse bereavment etc etc.. how well he had done at school. Etc. Another lady on here or one of the other sites looked it over for me and tidied it up. I was so greatful to her for helping me. Hope this helps xx
