I used to work for a number of years as a revenue protection officer ( Ticket man - Trains ) into London and I quite often had to attend court to give evidence ect
Not to interesting really as the defendants rearely turned up and the only time they did was normally if the were already on remand for other matters by the time of the hearing.
I have to attend a few times as the defendant on 14 appreances but not for separate offences ( pre sentence reports ect ).
Based on what you have advised and being a first offence I should imagine you will be served with a conditional discharge / cost & compensation and maybe additional fine for drunk & disorderly depending ( You should have been advised on what the charges are while still at the nick. )
If you do get a conditional discharge DO NOT BLOW IT AND KEEP OUT OF TROUBLE ( Avg 6 - 12 months )
I was lucky enough to get this first time round but had to return to court for breach of conditional discharge / additional offences & battery / and later a breach of community work order and I cannot stress how much I regret that.
Should be heared at your local magistrates court and go something like this
- Arrive ( DO NOT BE LATE AND DO NOT MISS THE HEARING - If you do a warrant for your arrest may be issued )/ searched / then go to the listings for that day and check time of you hearing which will be on a board outside the court rooms / meet with your solz and pepare defense also confirm you attendance with the usher / the wait / the court usher will then call you in and you be led into the dock.
In my experience the judges are mostly not present at this time and you may be seated. When the judge(s) enter ( usually 3 ) you will told to rise while they take their seats and thensit back down when you are told to.
Prosecution will then give evidence and the charge ect. Put this time to good use and try and look scared ect ( Just shake your hands a little ect but not ott )
Your solz will give defense ( I told them the usaual I come from a broken home but didn't tell them I broke it ) if you have choose not to represent your self. After that you can add comments if invited to and the judges will leave th room to make a judgement. Then they come back to advise ( stand again )
So you will cry at how much compo you have to pay / how long you will be working in an old persons shop that stinks of piss ect.
You said you knocked a picture of the wall. How? Who saw? Could you not advised you were pushed / Splipped on a wet uncleaned surface / the picture fell off the wall and you put you hand out to stop it? |
Thanks for the tips mate!

In my police interview I told them that I got pushed to the wall by the crowd and thats how the picture fell, but its a total lie. Now I don't know what kind of eveidence they have to back themselves up.
I know there is a camera in the area I was at, but i have been informed by friends(they were with me at the time) that the camera was in difrent direction and they THINK i did not capture me. So i think they going to have all the bouncers or staff as witness for evidence. Either way i think im screwd :(
Today i have talked to a solicitor(very short talk) about my case and he told me that im in the safe hands! I bloody hope so lol
I wonder how he react when I tell him that I lied to police in interview.
2 more days left wish me luck. im really ing myself becuase today someone told me If i pleade guilty I have to pay ALL the court costs, so im looking at something around £1000....arghhhhhhh |

What's a solicitor |
A solicitor is a type of lawyer in many common law jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Republic of Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, but not the United States. In most common law countries the legal profession is split between solicitors who represent and advise clients, and a barrister who is retained by a solicitor to advocate in a legal hearing or to render a legal opinion.
