Because it was 2020 they probably wouldn't hold it against them. If they have evidence of the conversations still they can use that to show they did try to be proactive. A lot of the time second offenses they do get a harsher sentence which could mean jail. It depends on the judge and how good your lawyer is I guess.
We have a psychologist meeting next week to do lots tests and stuff .hoping they will back up presentance report as at time offence last year they was very poorly and now needs procedure every 10 week for life .
