Decent Judges do actually exist after all !

So, in a nutshell, after an horrendous day my Autistic Son was sentenced yesterday after a very nerve-wracking time waiting until 3pm and after 3 previous postponements!
The Judge expressed his disgust in open court at the horrendous delay of 3.5 yrs. He also called the Vigilantes out for exactly what they are !! He acknowledged our living hell for the past 3.5 yrs and agreed he wouldn't be stood in court if he didn't have autism . All the reports and supporting evidence pointed to his isolation due to his autism which led him to being entrapped and the devious tactics of the vigilantes. Obviously my Son did wrong but he was treated fairly - 3 yr community order and 5 yrs SOR and SHPO and 35 Rehab days . The emphasis was on support .
No address was given in court and no media present although it has reached the local online rag.. it's going to take a long time before I stop feeling like a nervous wreck and dreading each day. It will never really be over but it's good to know that some Judges are human after all !

Hi , he was 23 at the time and now he's almost 27 ! The utter irony is that because of what happened and the fantastic help and support he has had , he is in a much better place . He has had support from some fantastic people and has lived in supported living for the past year .
