The verdict for Apeman, monkey boy and chimp is GUILTY!!!!

[sparklymieow]

I phoned the local paper and they said that they were found guilty and are in jail awaiting sentancing on friday!!!!

the reporter thinks many years, I have a new friend,

am so happy for you xxxxxx

that is why he never actually hit us, he said to DH that his days were numbered, I think he meant that his own days were numbered!!

I will let you all know the number of years (hopefully) on friday!

fantastic news mieow

Got up and forgot about this for about 2 seconds, it made a huge come across my face this morning!!

Well, DH went to the shops and ran into backstabbing mate, he was calling DH was grass, if they got their facts right, it was ME that called the police on Apeman, not DH. Dh just stared at him and drove off.......... what a twat!

anyway so called mate wamts to watch it, his mum has an unsecure tenancy because of rent arrears, so if I was to get the council involved, they will lose their house faster than they can blink!!

careful SM, they could end being rehoused nearer to your new house, you wouldn't want that!

Just count down the days/weeks until you can move.

How is the new house coming along?

A massive hug for you, your husband and your kids, sm.

I will have to hire a very big limo and A LOT of baby oil for ya

Remember, whatever happens wrt sentencing - and it could easily be shorter than you might hope, as it so often is - you've done yourself proud by standing up to them and not letting them walk all over you and yours, and that takes an immense amount of guts and perseverance, as you have doubtless found over the last few months.

I sincerely hope your new place makes all of you a lot happier and you can draw a line under all this crap.

Here's hoping for fab new neighbours later in the year !

Thanks Hub, I don't feel very strong, I didn't take it any further and let them carry on doing what they were doing, I did ignore them and I know now they can't hurt me where they are, I just hope they get many years so we will be long gone by the time they get out, I can't see the judge giving them a few months, they serevely beat that poor man, he needed emergancy surgery, and they denied it all the time, so hopefully they will get at least 5 years. I can handle P and his little mates, they are all mouth anyway. I know I am better than them and always will be....

great news. must be such a relief! i hope they are in jail for a long time and that your new house will be ready soon!

Listen, sparkly, you went out of the house when others may have stayed at home, you called the authorities (various) when others may have kept schtum. Ignoring them and keeping your gob shut was hard, not easy, and possibly saved you / dh from getting beaten up too.... you looked after the kids when they started to get upset by all this, and you didn't use your car like a tank (which I know was tempting )... so don't give yourself a hard time. Celebrate the end of the aggro. ANYONE in your position would have been scared shi*less at being close to these violent people and you've done well just staying sane !

As I went out to pick up the kids from playscheme all the little runts were outside, I gave them all a big smile!! and when I had left DH was at the door and one of them walked across the drive so he said 'use the path' and she stuck her nose up at him!! she is about 8 or 9!!!

They must not know that their 'King' has been sent down!!!

All the little shites are running around by my front door and car, should I let it lie as theya re only having fun or tell them to p*ss off back to their own front garden.... ??

leave them to it as long as they're not causing harm, maybe they're happy Apey and the chimps are gone too

No, they run with him, they think he is KING!!

o yes sorry i didn't reply to that, the thread moved fast. no worries just was a bit shocked.

leave the little blighters to it you'll be gone soon.

Sparkly, this was more than a case of bad neighbours, what a relief for you they have got their comeuppance (sp?)!

Also a relief that they never turned their worst behaviour on you! Seriously these people should be locked up for a very long time and it was ridiculous that one got only 1/2 his prison term last time!

Had a look around on the database today at some typical sentences. Was really hard as they do vary a lot. Those with just GBH down as their main offence were geerally serving 4 or 5 years; wounding with intent was 4-7 years, but the odd one much more. GBH w/i is more serious than just GBH though so hopefully they will be inside for a long time. The thing they need is to get MORE than 4 years. Less than that and they only serve half their sentence. 4 years or more they have to go before a parole panel before released early - and that means meeting various criteria first.

Hope a good result comes in tomorrow for you.

Oh and in terms of where the youngest will go:

The very youngest prisoners, those aged 15, 16 and 17 are held in juvenile units. There are 5 dedicated juvenile establishments. The Youth Justice Board jointly manages the Juvenile estate. Juveniles are held under a Detention and Training Order with a term of 4 - 24 months. Half of this time is served in custody and the remainder under the supervision of a probation officer, social worker or a member of a youth offending team.

Young prisoners 18 - 21 years of age are held in young offender institutions (YOIs). Like training prisons, YOIs can be either 'open' or 'closed'. Young offenders are transferred to adult prisons, before their 22nd birthday, for the remainder of their sentence.

Training prisons are used to hold sentenced prisoners and can be either 'open' or 'closed' depending on the level of security required.

There are separate local prisons for men and women. They accommodate people who need to be kept in custody after being charged with an offence. Such people will generally remain in local prisons until they are released on bail, discharged or sentenced.

We have 17yo are our YOI. Because of their conviction you can assume they will all be at closed prisons at this stage of their sentence too.

Thanks Hula, thats very helpful, I have a feeling they will serve about 5 years, not sure why, just do.
I have had a mixture of feelings today, I am happy they are in custody but I keep thinking what if they get a surpended sentance, and the fact that we are still getting verbal abuse from the other household makes me think that its not worth all this hassle, and I don't want to be here anymore.
My parents popped in today because they could without feeling intimidated, which was nice.

I can't imagine GBH w/i AND affray would go suspended.

So when tomorrow do you find out sentence? Anything over 4 years, means they will be in for a good while. By sounds of them they don't sound the likes to get their heads down and comply with all the stuff aksed of them - courses to address reoffending behaviour, no adjudications for bad behaviour/non compliance, etc. So fngers crossed even parole will be hard too.

Given apeman's previous, and his attitude when asked about the incident, and the fact that the WPC said "I've been in the force for three years and that evening was the first time I've ever been so scared", surely he at least will get way over the minimum, hula?

Great that he's away now anyway, mieow!
