Court tomorrow
Notifications OFF
We are in court tomorrow. Feel utterly sick with nerves, and I've had gastroenteritis on top of everything this week.
my partner did his call with probation on Monday and it went well, they are recommending suspended sentence but did warn that the judge doesn't have to listen to it. It can go either way.
His bag is packed and I can't even look at it. Got a very tearful goodbye tonight between him and our 10 month old and it's just breaking my heart.
Sorry I know this isn't helpful to post, just needed to get it out there.

Hello,
Thinking of you today and tomorrow. Having been through sentencing in November 21 I can understand how you are feeling.
Hoping the outcome is a fair one.

This must be so incredible hard. I'm 2 weeks away from goodbyes (we are expecting custodial, just a case of how long) and can't bring myself to think about it and we don't have the added emotion of a baby.
It's not much consolation, but I am trying to find comfort that at least we'll know what we are dealing with and can work on getting through the next stage. My heart goes out to you.
Hoping for a fair outcome for you tomorrow.

Your so right SAL - it's a time you're facing the reality of this journey, the fear of the unknown is immense. For me it was a relief, we knew what we had to face and in a way a time to move forward.

We've just heard it's likely to be adjourned. So we were due to have plea and sentencing all in one but instead it will be plea tomorrow and then back for sentencing at a later date.
Means more time together as a family but also just want it to be over!x

Hi Lee, PSR was done on Monday so had been done prior. They have advised suspended sentence and management in the community, and have him as low risk.
I appreciate it's not always the same as others journeys but this is what our legal team advised, as his plea was never needed to be heard at magistrates - it was all pushed up.
Maybe it varies from area to area but it's quite common here for it to be put into one stage.

All mitigating factors compiled pre court and have been submitted, it was the PSR we were waiting on and then it happened on Monday. We thought it might push things back but were told no it was all fine. Then lo and behold the night before and looking like an adjournment.
We have:
- 5 x character references
- 1 x letter/report from StopSO therapist that he's attended weekly for nearly a year now
- 1 x letter/report from Safer Lives after he completed a course which he started the week of the arrest
- medical records as that forms part of the background of his offending.etc
- 1 x letter of accountability from my partner
- social worker has also contributed to PSR to show we've engaged at every stage.etc
We are NW based, but like I said I guess it's just different for every area and I suppose none of us on here are experts. Everyone's just finding their way through I guess!

Sentencing was today but got cancelled last minute yesterday. Now set for mid May, so the stress goes on a bit longer.
Not for me, I've moved on, I thought we'd go through the end of the journey like the rest of it but he clearly didn't want me to see the evidence. Been lying to me. Not that we had much of a relationship after the knock, I've felt numb inside and like I've been going through the motions. Living in a dream and a lie. Time to move on. You can only help someone who wants it.
All the waiting and messing around with dates is so tough, I hope your journey comes to an end soon and you get the result you want

Sentencing adjourned for 29th April. So more time at least...but more waiting too.
Glad you have another date, hope you can manage to enjoy the next few weeks and Easter all together.
It sounds like you/partner have done lots to help his case.
