    Due to be in court in the next few weeks over 2 public order offences that occurred over a year and a half ago I've never been in a court before and just wondering does anyone know what sort of sentence id get for pleading guilty/not guilty I feel am not guilty but if it's going to complicate things pleading not guilty ill probably just settle and plead guilty any reply will be great.

    More information needed.
    What kind of public order was it and was it something you got arrested for? Did you get a ticket that you didn’t pay?

    Absolutely speak to a solicitor. I don't think it's common for the DPP to decide not to proceed only for the guards to proceed anyway. Few shillings spent on a comptetent criminal solicitor at this point could be a very sound investment for you.

    Make sure you have photos of injuries
    And doctors report
    I would not plead guilty
