Hello, we finally got charges two weeks ago but solicitor can't really do anything until the evidence is uploaded by the CPS to the database apparently. Roughly how long after charges was it uploaded, and how long was that before magistrates? Thanks in advance

Our solicitor didn't receive evidence from cps until after our first plea heating at magistrates, although our solicitor is less than useless! X

Our solicitor received the evidence on the day of plea hearing and went through it with my son about 30 minutes before his hearing.

@mumtolots how on earth can you plead guilty or not guilty if you don’t know if they have the exact evidence then? Did he plea if no evidence was seen at that point?



@ocean I cannot believe that, it’s insane. How stressful for your son!!!!



@daisychain, we waited 16 months from second interview to charges

Wow! That's so long!

We were told it would be handed over to CPS within 2 weeks and then they had 4 weeks to get back to them as long as they didnt have any questions and passed it back!

God 16 months is ages! Thanks for your reply!
