Hi,
I was charged with a 72 breath test and bailed for court, on my arrival and speaking to the duty solicitor the prosecution had a higher reading and I’m now being convicted at 120. Is it right that the charge I was summoned to court got was not the same as the one they are sentencing me for now. The solicitor advised me to go guilty and I knew it was my word (the guilty) against the evidence of the machine reading they had. I don’t dispute the evidence as it was a first time offence and the only reading I wanted was the one they released me on. Can anyone advise if there was something more that could have been done, I was never prepared to hear it would be a possible custodial.
