Gbh With Intent
my partner went out last sunday to watch the football with 3 of his friends, he said he was in the put and there was a big lad about 6ft tall. (much taller than my bf) he started picking at my partner - my partner said he was trying to put his elbow in in face and generally just trying to wind him up..he ignored him for a while and then my partners mate ended up knocking him out unconcious on the floor. then stupidly my partner went over to him and punched him (whilst unconscious ) 5 times in the head. he then left the man an ran away, later that night he got arrested for GBH with intent- as the man had a fractured eye cheek bone and cracked jaw plus stitches to his eye and chin. he has to go back to the police station soon to anser his bail and then i think it will goto court. im just wondering if he will get sent to jail for this? Please can anyone help?

methyl, courts in England do have a 'plea bargain' though I do not know if it is called that. A court will sometimes accept a guilty plea in exchange for a lower level charge. For example accept a guilty plea to ABH for a reduction of the charge from GBH. I do not think it could apply in this case as it looks like a clear case of GBH section 18 ( the victim was knocked to the ground first and then punched in the head 5 times) . It is normally to avoid the cost / time of a trial where the evidence less positive.
