Hello All,
Just an update and a request please. Went to the hearing on Tuesday (Pleaded NG) and was given a chance to speak. I saw the Duty Solicitor and she agreed that in my case I have very little to lose by pleading NG at the hearing. I was later brought before a District Judge and he confirmed what TypsyNurse had stated and told me that for my case to have any chance I would need expert medical evidence and that it is quite easily available (although obviously I will have to pay). The prosecution outlined their case and it was a bit of a mess, IMO. She, the Prosecutor, stated that they were expecting a Guilty plea! They also agreed to request full evidence from the police and to send it to me. All in all it has given me a little hope as my Brother has offered to help with the expert fees.
Could anyone please advise me of the procedure to obtain a Medical Expert and will I be able to submit my defence and receive a reasonable assessment online? I realise that the costs will greatly increase if the Expert has to attend court.
Many thanks and regards as ever. -- flukey365
