  • Charge Preperation

    What's the best way to prepare mentally prior to charging?

    What is one to expect? Once charged in the police station, can they remand you, or do they typically re-bail with a court date?

    There has to be a (good) reason for remanding: likelihood of defendant contacting witnesses; committing further offences; self-harming or in risk of harm from others, are typical explanations. Normally, in these instances, the accused would have been remanded on arrest so, as you weren't, it is unlikely you will be remanded if you are charged.

    The vast majority of members, if charged, report a continuation of bail. A good solicitor will argue against remand as it makes constructing a defence far more difficult.

      I was charged in court yesterday and released on my own bail, not sure how it works via the police but id imagine it would be along the same lines, as said above there are quite a few factors in getting bail, but as long as you havent tried to contact witnesses in the past or made any threats you should be fine, has your solicitor not told you prior to getting charged if you will get bail or not?
