Please help calm. Facing prison sentence

[WienerDiva]

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.

I hope you don't get a prison sentence for your daughter's sake.

It seems that convictions for this are taken seriously by the courts though, and routinely "light" sentences would undermine the justice system as it would seem they aren't properly policing people who try to subvert it. That MP got a 3 month custodial sentence recently for perverting the course of justice relating to a speeding fine, and her accomplice got 10 months.

I think the prison sentence is purely to make an example though, as a criminal conviction is enough of a hindrance to a decent person as it is.

You sound very self aware now. I dearly hope it goes well for you today.x

Good luck, keeping my fingers crossed for you

Hope all goes well.

I know nothing about legal stuff but I'm sure that prison would not be the right solution.

That MP got a 3 month custodial sentence recently for perverting the course of justice relating to a speeding fine, and her accomplice got 10 months.

They got prison sentences because they pleaded Not Guilty, when it was obvious to anyone that they were anything but. You always get a harsher sentence if you don’t admit your responsibility.

The OP admitted her guilt very early on and that will be taken into consideration by the judge.

Best of luck OP.

You'll be ok OP. The prisons are full. You're not a bad person and no threat to the public.

I hope it goes well for you today OP.

Later, it might be worth considering counselling. I know you think you've learnt a lot about abusive relationships but tbh your childhood experience with your parents will make you liable to slip into old patterns and have poor boundaries.

Good luck

@LillithsFamiliar I have had some counselling as I had panic attacks and sleep paralysis straight after I was arrested. I think it's worth me going though for dealing with the court process etc.

Good luck today. It sounds like you have learned a lot from an awful experience and I wish you well.

Best of luck to you, I've just RTFT and you don't deserve to go to prison. Manipulative people make us do things that when we think rationally we wouldn't usually do. I hope the judge takes into consideration the offenders previous convictions (and current). Stay strong OP

I'm glad you've had some counselling. It's obviously a very stressful time

I hope things work out Ok for you OP. Good luck for today .

Best of luck today.

Best of luck today

Good luck!

Thinking of you today. Be brave and let us know how you get on.

Best of luck my love. What time are you due? Xx

Good luck for today, please keep us all posted xxx

Sending strength and love. Tell them what you've told us; you sound very sincere about your contrition. Good Luck

Thinking about you today, I really hope you get the best possible outcome. Wine and sofa cuddles with DD tonight!
