Hi
Firstly I am sorry to hear that the Justice system as let you down, it does this a lot.
Some good news anyway, once a Guilty plea as been entered, it cannot be altered back to a Not Guilty plea unless of course this defendant is held under the Mental Health Act.
There are \'exceptional\' circumstances in which the prosecution will allow such an appeal to go through, but I think there have been 7 in the last 25 years and only 2 of those was successful so I am sure you have nothing to fear.
If I can be of any assistance to you, please do get back to me and I will do all I can to help.
I do not charge for my services.
Thanks
Thomas

Changing of a plea from guilty back to no guilty     (Posted on: 2012-09-14 15:03:36)

I am a victim who\'s case was listed for Feb 2012, on my way to court to give my evidence the defendant changed his plea from not guilty to guilty,  there was another case against this man this year and he was found not guilty by jury at that one, but was told that he would be going to prison for what he did to me,  the case has been ajourned for sentencing 5 times since May and last week when he was about to be sentenced he put an application in to change his plea from guilty back to not guilty!!

Does this happen often?  What are the chances of the court not accepting his change of Plea??

Any advise would be grateful
