Edit - the cpos decides what the charge will be and they only go for charges they think they can get a conviction on

Not in England TJ which, if the charge is wounding (ie. S18 or S20 OAPA), is where ton's mate is. CPS decide the charges in England.

There was a fat finger typo in my post - It was meant to say CPS However you obviously know more than I

Dont really matter -tons "mate" is a thug who deserves to go down and I hope he does

Nothing ever excuses violence except to prevent greater violence at that moment.

I thought it was an 'either way' offence (s.20 OAPA), however it is some time since I have looked into such matters and I'm a wrong a lot of the time.

GBH, s.18 and s.20, are both indictable only offences.

Ernie, thats not the worst of it. His mate voted Tory at the last election! Up for sending him to the Gulag are we?

Sorry I appear to have been drawn into a trolling thread!

No more considered answers....

He is a vicious thug, a monster no less...
he deserves everything that is coming to him...
they should throw the book at him...
he should be locked up indefinitely...
he is a danger to society and ex-wifes new boyfriends everywhere.

(froth, froth, bile, bile, Daily Mail repeat ad nauseum)!

There that is more consistent with the standard STW mentality. 😉

I think this covers all the points discussed here

the answer to the question is yes. however most woundings involve a cut/s caused by glass or a knife.
a couple of teeth knocked out is a safe bet for a charge of abh (s.47), based on cps charging standards (approx. 10 years ago, may have changed) a charge of s.20 or s.18 may well be bargained down to s.47 at some point, in return for a guilty plea.
in england police decide the charge, based on whether there is enough evidence to secure a conviction. they will ask for cps advice if they are unsure, but cps charging standards in relation to assaults are/were clear (again 10 years ago)

Actually weeping with laughter at Pook's link. 😆

It's changed since then keavo. About 5 yrs ago the system changed, and now everything but a handful of the most basic offences have to go to CPS for a decision. Less detections for the police, greater conviction rate for the CPS.

I assume you mean when we grow up? Then the answer's no, as you can still be an adult and have balls 🙂

thanks for info.....sounds ace 😉

Section 20 is triable EITHER WAY only section 18 OAPA is triable on indictment only.
