Hi,
I am up for three charges assault, assault occasioning bodily harm, and wilful damage with an incident with a cab driver where he locked me in the cab. I also face two other petty non-criminal charges that he has chucked on there for good measure.
The reason for my question is I plead not guilty to all 5 (3 criminal). The magistrate asked for a brief of evidence to be served by June 22. I haven't received this yet and it is June 30 now. Court is next Wednesday the 6th of July.
Does this provide me any benefit whatsoever or does anyone consider anything to be happening? My legal aid lawyer(who is hard to get onto, thus doing this) contacted them last week and was told the officer would be in on Monday this week we rang them yesterday again and spoke to the Brief Handling Manager and they had no idea why the brief wasn't ready yet?
Is there any benefit for me in this instance or potential of charges being dropped?
Thanks
