theyll test his likelihood of reoffending - asses his levele of contrition etc
look at his realtion ship with his family etc etc

read htis

Thank you cod, i really appreciate it.

he need to be honest and repentant from what ihave read/seen.

i woudl be suprised if theydidnt suspend hsi sentence anyway.
have htey discussed potentialy taggin him>

Not yet, is that something that we would find out avout before or will it just be something we find out about on the day?

hmmm whne they sent off fr reports i presume tis an "all options" one ( ie considering custody)
what did htye say in court?

Just that he is still on bail until 15th december when he has to return for sentencing, the judge also said that just because they had released him on bail now does not mean that it could go that way in sentencing or words to that effect?

yes yes htey say that
.

what does your lawyer think

whats the charge?
theft in breach fo trust?

He seems to think there is no chance of avoiding a custodial sentence and that if we do that might not be so good because the prosecution will appeal on the principle/precedent that will be set and he is likely to get a harsher one.
The charges are 3 forgery, 3 theft, 3 using/making false instrument and i cant remember the last one.
Also the breach of trust issue

well twhat happened

He said he was as remorseful as possible and aknowledged the crime. The lady was very nice. He thinks she will recommend a mixture of community service, probation and curfew. However we have previously been told because of the breach of trust there is no way he will avoid a custodial sentence. Really worried now that he is pinning his hopes on this and will come crashing down at the end. She will probably want to see him again between now and the 15th december as it is such a long time between pleading guilty and the sentencing.
Apparently he had to explain why and how, and what the impact had been on the family. Also whether i knew or not.

yes i think itll be community what with allt eh hoo ha at the meomtn but i aint a judge
curfew can be pretty onerous but not as bad as being inside obv

most mags take a LOt of notice of probation repoertsd
dunno abotu judges

anyone know the outcome of this?

ignore me!
