thanks for your reply. Would you advise I get a lawyer and make a recant statement, explaining he was drunk when that happened? And would alcohol management classes help before his first appearance in court. He doesnt have the financial ability to hire a lawyer and I’m so scared he would go to jail.
First nothing happen at first appearance, until he received disclosure from crown, he might get next date at first appearance, he will not go to jail at first appearance, this case takes 1 or 2 years if this goes to trial, hire a lawyer for reluctant statement, just do not cooperate from now with crown, but with caution & legal advise, if your not willing to testify at court, they can't force you, if case is really serious they will subpoena you to testify you, if you don't go you might get in to trouble, so you hire a lawyer.
