First rule of life: Never admit guilt!
Especially when jail time is on the table!
If if just said guilty when I was first arrested I wouldn't be in this mess now I said not guilty did a prepared statement and no comment in the interview, didn't give my phones pins and I've been RUI 'released under investigation' (like unlimited time bail) for near 26 months and it's made it a LOT worse for me, they shut 2 bank accounts, went to my accountant, checked my benefit situation, proved I wasn't working, loads of shit. Poked loads of holes in my prepared statement where I lied about money and working etc. Fucking case file is 61 pages.
I just want it over and done with now, my early guilty plea already shaved 33% from my potential sentence.
@jhjhsdi, I'd start volunteering at a homeless animal shelter and attending Don't Be Bad courses in the meantime - something to at least make it appear as if you've seen the light.
I don't how any of this works though. Neither does your lawyer by sound of it. "Yeah, just admit guilt to everything". Now you have to go some super court.
No wonder he fucked off right after, I would too.
I've actually volunteered to help out at a drug and a alcohol group
Since my arrest it really looks like I have seen the light, back then I was homeless, not working, now I have somewhere to live, had 2 full time employers, still working, been to drug meetings and in their eyes am clean.
I've got 4 good character references from employers and customers.
I'm meeting with him next week he only had to rush off because the court was late and it made him late for a video conference, I'll know alot lore after the meeting.
Hire new counsel immediately.
I'm not paying him I'm getting legal aid because everyone is signed onto universal credit benefits atm
He thought I was looking at 26 weeks at the worst the dafty but no turns out it's alot
