Ive to go to court today to give evidence against the man that hit myself, ds and ddog while we were in the middle of a zebra crossing. I was hoping and praying this day would never have to come around as id hoped he would plead guilty but alas he has pleaded not guilty.
Ive had next to no sleep and ds has been up and down since 5, i just cant shake the feeling of total fear i have. My best friend is taking ds for the day thankfully. My dsis and ds are still sleeping so im taking ddog for a rare just me and him walk just now. Im hoping my auntie and cousin dont go to the court, they havent been supportive and in their words i want to be nosy so im going Hmm. Sorry if im getting a bit rambly i just wanted to get the above of my chest before i implode

The lady that looks after the witnesses has just came in and told us that there are 6 or 7 cases going on today and that we will hear more around 11 o clock

I was called to give evidence once, was scared (he was violent, although not against me) and a barrister friend told me this: in court so many lies are told that when people tell the truth, it is quite clear. Make sure you have water to hand and just tell the truth in the simplest terms possible. Hope everything goes ok for you.

Have you got something to read to take your mind off it? If not, see if you've got time to go out and buy a magazine or something.

Yeah i would say they think he did it but there isn’t sufficient evidence to back it up. Otherwise it would have been not guilty. At least it is over now.

StarsandSparkles · 04/01/2017 16:43

Yeah thats how im looking at it. That they found him guilty but werent able to pass a sentence. He will have to live with what happened as will i. Im so glad its finished and i can move on with my life
