I think for most violent offences they have to charge within a year?

When ive been bailed for assault ive been back in and charged within a coupe of weeks, but its only ever happened to me a couple of times so it might not be representative of what happens in other cases.

For driving stuff ive had to wait far longer to get summonsed but thats different cause no "charging" as such.

Seems unlikely, its not exactly going to be the case that new evidence pops up now.

So bloody inconvenient having to keep going back down there too

Stupid isn't it, you step in to do 'the right thing' and you end up in trouble.

The world is a fucked up place.

Happened to me and a mate of mine about 10 years ago, this bloke was absolutely kicking fuck out of this bird, literally beat her to the ground and was booting her on the ground, we rushed over and grabbed hold of him and tore him off and sat him down out of harms way, next thing she runs over and starts booting us and telling us to leave him alone, its fucking insanity with some of these chicks.

Haven't you got a Solicitor? He/She'll know what the law is. Plus its a good idea to turn up with one, as it will go away that much faster.

only if hes a pro, i got a mate who does boxing and he ahd a similer thing and thats what i said to him

aparantly if its a hobby ect then its not the same, but anyone who does do a sport like that should understand the risk then are doing by belting someone,,,,,, trained to throw a punch can do alot of damage,,,,,, but im sure you are aware adn just gave him a jab

btw about 4 years ago on new years eve i had a row with a fucking irish prick in a pub,,,,,, he was such a cunt aswell and thought he was " the man"

when i lost it with him after him going too far i went to have a word in his shell,,,,,,,, before i finished the sentance he threw a punch that i NEVER even seen coming,,,,, the cunt broke my fucking nose

that cunt was a fucking boxer too,,,,,,,,,, moral of the story kids,,,,,,,



if theres a irish idiot giving it the large and you think you can take him


remember that even stupid gofy looking people can be boxers

seriously pissed about it as i couldnt breath out me nose for 3 weeks,,,,,,,, and that includes breathing things up it

You can be bailed any number of times and there is no time limit. However, if they are repeatedly bailing you and not progressing the investigation it can be an abuse of process. There is no reason why a GBHB case should take 9 months to progress.

You will not be locked up on Friday as they cannot create a new reason to refuse bail if the circumstances haven't changed so don't worry there. Even if charged they will bail you seeing as you have already been on bail for 9 months.

If not charged I would speak to the Officer in the Case who will be a DC or DS. Do NOT get arsey with the bloke. Politely explain that this case has ruined your life and that the last 9 months have been hell. Chances are the bloke does sympathise with you. Getting him on side could help when he next speaks to the CPS and he may be able to nudge them in the direction of an NFA (no further action).

If you are charged do not make any reply to the charge.

However, I would say that the length of time elapsed is a good sign. If it was that striaght forward a case they would have charged you long ago.

Good luck.
