Having a hard time of it!

[Rights Fighter]

Have you done some research on your solicitor?

[macdougal]

Ive done research on the company ive also asked them if theyve dealt with false allegations before and they said quite frequently. I have been given the number of a very good solicitor though if hes needed, hes dealth with many of these cases and is also apparantly one of the best solicitors in my area

[Rights Fighter]

Maybe you could PM me your whereabouts and the name of the sol you are currently using?

[Saffron]

Just to stick my oar in, MacDougal, please do tell RF the name of your sol. She really knows her stuff, and can let you know whether your sol genuinely is an expert.

[macdougal]

Just out of curiosity, if they do decide to charge me. My bail time is 5pm, are they likely to keep me in the cells overnight to wait for court or will i be given bail for that too?

[RFLH]

they'll just rebail you.

[Rights Fighter]

Saffron, He has done in a PM.

[macdougal]

Thanks Saffron, already PM'd. I did intened on acknowledging you but my train of thought went when i thought of the bail question sorry

Your solicitor will find out your fate before you have to answer bail. You may be rebailed several times before the CPS charge you as the police try to build a case against you. There is also the possibilty that you will be re-interviewed when you anwer bail. You may be asked not to attend the police station but be given a new bail date over the phone that you have to attend. You wil know all this beforehand.

These people like to take there time, they don’t care about the anxiety that you and your family may be feeling or the hell you are going through.

If you are charged this will be a very quick process, it will probably take under a minute and then you will be released on police bail again maybe with conditions, maybe not.
Do not attend the police station without a solicitor. You will not be put in a police cell when you attend.

Be strong and don’t let the system break you down.

I hope you get a NFA. Good luck.

Is it likely that if the cps have it now that there will be more enquiries to make? also if im charged and re-interviewed is that a positive or negative. of course the charge is negative but exactly would the re-interview be for?
if there is no evidence to support her case and also the three statements (including mine) that support my version of events indicate lies in her version of events will that go in my favour or will they just be interested in the scientific evidence?
sorry guys getting really nervous and scared now its getting close

Hello macdougal,

I can't offer you any advice, but I do want you to know I have you in my thoughts, you read like a good man, so I hope that lady luck has you by the hand while this plays out.

Inner strength is a test of a mans worth. Stay strong for your daughter, stay strong for yourself.

Take care.

Hello Macdougal,

With sexual offences the CPS are involved almost from the beginning 'helping' the police with the case.

If you do get a re-interview this suggests the CPS aren't sure and want the police to delve a little further into the 'evidence', or lack of it! Alternatively it may be that your accuser has made fresh allegations which you will be given the opportunity to respond to.

So if you do get a re-interview, this is your opportunity to blow the case out.

Treat it like an exam, think of all the possible questions and have answers prepared. Your solicitor may be able to get prior disclosure of the questions so that you can discuss your replies with him.

The days leading up to the bail date are the worst, we're all there with you, the best of luck.

[RFLH]

Do have your legal rep there - do not answer more than the question is asked - don't try to expand your answer to try and get your point across. Say as little as possible.

This may be just a fishing expedition, in the hopes that you say something they can act on.

Chin up, hold your head high - and don't let them get to you, they'll try everything they can to twist your words against you.

Short, sharp and to the point - no more, no less.

[Rights Fighter]

If this is a fishing expedition I suggest you do not give alibi evidence or evidence that could cause the accuser to change her story. this happens - some police officers are corrupt enough to tell the accuser your version of events who will then change her statement citing "trauma" as the reason for the "confusion".

Good luck. Please do come back and let us know how you get on.

[macdougal]

Still no news guys. But just wondered (and this may sound like a stupid question) if her solicitor knows/has an idea that shes lying, will they still push a case against me or will they try and persuade her to drop statement. sorry just got all kinds of question going through my head adn im not sure how solicitors deal with things
thanks
