Re: charged with section 18 (Posted on: 2012-04-25 19:14:55)
Your first port of call must be to speak to a good/experienced solicitor. They can talk to the prosecution about the charges and get the medical evidence to see if the charge is made out and check if S18 is the right charge in this case. For S18 to be proven, your actions (actus reus/guilty act) must have caused grievous bodily harm, which means really serious harm - bruising is not sufficient for this offence. However, it does include psychiatric injury. Another key elemnt of S18 is that you have to have intended to cause GBH see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grievous_bodily_harm and http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/s_to_u/sentencing_manual/wounding_or_inflicting_grievous_bodily_harm_with_intent/
