Hi all,

My OH has his date for magistrates plea hearing next week. He has been charged with possession of the following:

11 x Cat A

13 x Cat B

1088 x Cat C

I'm obviously really anxious and solicitor has said it will go to Crown. It's his first offence. Does anyone have any experience of sentencing for similar numbers / offence? Hoping it's just a community order but the anxiety over possible prison sentence is awful as I know he'll massively struggle and if that happens I have no idea what he'll tell work as he has to give a few months notice of resignation.

A suspended sentence or community order are the most likely outcomes. But he should pack a prison bag anyway, when he goes for sentencing, because it all depends on the judge.
