I'm due in court tomorrow for attempting to pervert the course of justice.

It happened six months ago and I'm pleading guilty so no trial etc.

No previous and I'm a person "of good character". But my goodness I'm bloody petrified.

I probably won't sleep tonight and I'll I keep thinking about is my dd.

Good luck OP. If you are asked a question where you think the answer will make you look bad or if indeed you don't understand, say "I'm sorry I'm not sure I understand the question". The advice my solicitor gave me 35 years ago.

Thank you for you really lovely words and vast amounts of support.

You've no idea what they mean and the level of empathy is huge.

I won't lie. I'm absolutely terrified this morning and am a bit of mess. But you wonderful humans have helped me more than I can say.

Thank you all so so much and returning unmumsnetty hugs back.

Not much mention on here of the police officer who got hurt as a consequence of actions or inactions. I hope it wasn’t too serious.

I've read the whole thread and just want to add my voice to the chorus saying we hope it's a best case scenario for you today.

You aren't the first person to be in this position and won't be the last. But you held your hands up, admitted it and have cooperated. I can't think of anyone more likely to avoid prison. Especially as it's a first offence. (Used to be a barristers clerk).

I hope I'm right and we see you post later today. Try and stay as calm as you can x
