Hi all.

Has anyone or their people written to the Judge?

What advise have you received for this that you are happy to share ?

I am thinking my person's letter should apologise and take responsibility and mine should be both a character reference and asking the Judge to consider the entire family (especially with press?)

Just not sure how any of it would go down.

Any advise at all welcome as ever.

Solicitor advised that it includes something about how you know them and for how long. Evidence of them being a good person - explain how they helped or supported you with something tricky or awful. Then something about the steps they have taken since offending to show that they can rehabilitate.



I also tried to include stuff about how press attention had impacted my family but was told by solicitor that this wasn't a good thing to mention.
