My husband trial starts next week. We have had our final meeting with the KC before next week however, I'm really worried about something he said. Without going into too much detail he basically it all comes down to the sheriffs mood on the day. Struggling to get my head around that. Sorry I seem to be rambling on here. Thank you
Hi,
Is it a trial with a jury? If he has pleaded guilty then it will be sentencing without a jury. I guess from the use of sheriff that you aren't in England and I'm unsure how this differs where you are but usually a trial has a jury who have to reach a guilty/not guilty verdict based on evidence presented but in sentencing it can depend on the judge's mood and their own feelings on these cases, it shouldn't but I have seen massive differences in cases that present as the same level of charges etc.
I know this probably doesn't ease your concern but I also don't want to give false hope. Thinking of you for next week xxx

Hi,
Thank you for replying. You are correct in saying that we aren't in England we are in Scotland. My husband has pled not guilty to charges of extreme porn on the advice of KC. We will just have to wait and see how it goes. I was just shocked by what he said earlier xxx

Hi,
I will be thinking of you next week. My OH has pled not guilty so it will go to jury trial later in the year. I understand what you mean, the outcome is so unpredictable. I worry it will be influenced by people's mood or prejudices.
Fingers crossed you have a good outcome.
