Sitting in crown court having a cup of tea

[daki]

how can I explain my words? as the cps have twisted what I have said to form evidence

even though I was under the influence of alcohol and prescription drugs

[daki]

they took my words literaly and using as evidence against me

how can I fight this?

I will fight this somehow

Never trust the police they are as target driven as door to door salesmen

Killing yourself eh? She would totally LOVE that- "He couldn't live with himself after what he did to me. I'm trying to forgive him now hes gone but its so hard, I pray god will forgive him for this. I think i just need a break so when the compensation money gets here i might take a cruse or something, just to clear my head"
Her Gaggle will rally around her making the apporate soothing noises. Then people you have known all your life will think, "he musta did it, no smoke without fire"

Or you could stand up and say "No, I didn't do it, I wont say i did something that i didn't do" They will offer the carrot and once you take it they'll beat you with a carrot.
Someone told me once that God doesn't send us anything he hasn't equipped us to handle and that when we die, we are judged not by how far we got, but the hurdles we over came to get there.

Thanks I'm just so scared going crown court

Just woke me up to how serious this is I got charged

With assault by penetration and sexual assault.

I hope Gerry McDonald is really good. I've had very poor representation

My duty solicitor was bad my solicitor I sat with four times I read the case papers

I showed him she gave four diffrent accounts of the event all on the same day to her
Friends myself and police

The way she describes it to have happened not even physically possible
He told me we had loads going for us last minute says plead guilty

Imagine how futile I feel

[RFLH]

everyone feels scared, but dress smart, put on an air of confidence (not too much) and hold your head high. Speak clearly and make eye contact.

[daki]

thanks. i guess I just need to keep my head up

[daki]

I just spoke with Gerry McDonald he seems

To know the game

How hard is it to transfer legal aid?

[Rights Fighter]

Ask Gerry about that as he will know more than us

[mrmodandmisspunk]

Daki are you okay?
please say you're okay?!?!?!?!?

[daki]

Having a nightmare transfering legal aid and my legal team is the worst there is I might be better off doing my own representation
but i have suffered from childhood delirium and the stress is getting me having episodes again

[RFLH]

I'm sorry to read that you're struggling Daki. Do you have a support network? If not, please keep posting here, there's usually someone about to chat to.

[Rights Fighter]

Your preferred defence team should be able to assist with a decent argument as to why you want to transfer to them. The fact that you have no confidence in your current team is one but you have to explain why this is.

You cannot defend yourself as you cannot cross-examine your own "victim". You could end up with duty sol and counsel who are good at defending ABH and have no experience in False allegations.

MY current solicitor says he wouldn't oppose it he says I have no legal grounds

To do so

But we should list it so that's what we did so I should have

To go have a hearing about this in the week

However I have got to appear to enter my plea by Friday

The stress is killing me

[Rights Fighter]

If current sol says he will not oppose and that there are no legal grounds it makes me wonder why he is being so helpful! Maybe he knows he either has not done enough or that he is not experienced in these matters and is relieved to have this off his hands.

Gerry McDonald by all accounts is excellent and hands-on and he should be able provide an argument.

Entering your plea is easy. You will be in the dock. Court official will read out all charges one by one and ask you if you are guilty or not guilty. You will stand tall head erect and say "not guilty" to each one in a clear voice, looking at the official asking you.

There will be some legal argument and/or setting of dates etc and you will be released from the dock. Have a friend with you for moral support so you don't have to walk out of the court house on your own.

Solicitor said in 25 years he has never opposed anyone moving a case/legal aid

Gerry is my new solicitor he filled me with confidence when i met him I am just very

scared
