Was wondering how long people have had to wait for a CPS decision after second interview?

more waiting after all the waiting is so exhausting!

Hi mg

We had second interview in November and then he was charged between Christmas and New year. Court case is this week too so not as long as limbo between the knock and second interview

Thank you. Was told it could be several months!! Wondered if that now might extend as investigation took much longer than they orgivinally said. Scared I am in for another very long wait.

Everywhere is different. Some take a while whilst some dont. Scotkand seems to be the place to be with us only waiting 7 months from the knock to the sentence. X

From the knock Nov 2017, no second interview was required eventually went to crown court Feb2019, long agonising wait, CPS kept saying wont be long every time i called and to carry on with our 'normal lives' ! Understatement of the worst king how can anyone carry on as normal in this kind of situation. There really needs to be more consistency in time scales across the country. The waiting game is a real killer but i doubt very much if they have any consideration of the impact on the rest of the family!
