You need legal representation in court. Speak to a solicitor about the chances of success. You can get legal aid if on a low income. Self defence using an appropriate level of force is a defence.

I also received advise on staying quiet from a recent solicitor involved in this case but he neither suggested it nor didnt suggest it , he explained it all with alot of enthusiasm after I asked him about it as a possible idea, he told me ho to be quiet effectively

Does that count as an effective adverse interference defense?

Ok so I got some lousy advice to stay quiet as the best way to deal with legal matter so I did, this got me a guilty charge despite not breaking the law because I didnt provide my counter evidence or talk for an assault charge

Now im going to give the full truth my side of events but its now late and i may be suffering inference problems , so I may be found guilty again despite never even breaking the law,

So i defended myself against a woman with a knife by manourvering/ pulling her hair and dragging her across the floor (I also have sever panic problems and an irregular heart beat so it wasnt just the knife that made me fear for my life)

I obviously felt for my life and safety so legally im allowed to use appropriate force

My adverse interference defense is that I received poor legal advice from a solicitor online a long time ago (like just ask legal), and that I was medicated (prolanalol) and traumatized during the interview (knife fear, extreme panic and irrationality, )

is that enough to secure a not guilty in the re trial???? (what im afraid of is a detail im not aware of i only just learnt what adverse interference is)

Thanks friend!

I do not get that you were told to "be quiet". Do you mean a No Comment Police interview after you were arrested? That is pretty normal and seen all the time in court. That would not affect the trial.

Yes I mean that, apparently if u stay quiet in the interview it affects your defense if u need to say what happens later in a retrial, and im going for the retrial as I was found guilty merely for staying silent in the interview and in court

i actually didnt break the law but i may have done something stupid by staying quiet in part because of bad advise on how law works in the Uk

Ive got a good interference defense now, I genuinely defended myself and feared for my life, the lady messed up in court lied and got caught out in her lies , so i made a drongo mistake and i wont make it in the retrial

Why is there a re-trial? Or are you bringing an appeal? They aren't the same thing.

Was the original trial at a Crown Court with a jury who found you guilty? What offence were you found guilty of?

Do you have a lawyer who will be representing you and presenting your case in your re-trial/appeal?

Assault (hair pulling)

Yes Crown Court

Im not sure it was a Jury they all looked like Judges or Solititor types

There as a video feed with the accuser she got caught out in a lie she made in court lol

I still got a we find you guilty comment at the end of court by presumably one of the judges their were about 5 of them

Ive got to go to a probation, pre sentence report appointment, so here im going to give the evidence i should have given in court which would have made me not guilty ?

?????Then after that I get sentenced???? So I think thats the punishment its only going to be a fine or conditional discharge type thing

Then I can appeal and get a high court re trial

Yes I have a free solicitor

Its horrible to know that u can be innocent and still convicted Ive only had like maybe 3 court cases in my life and already theyve got a conviction on an innocent person, Im wondering how many people are put in prison for more serious crimes whilst innocent

Did this trial take place in England?

Guys this is my current defense (it excludes my adverse interference defense) id like you to see if its any good or tell me if there's anything bad about it (My goal is to get a not guilty charge )

My mother burst into my room knocking down my barricade.

I made a baricade because my mum is danagerous with knives.

In the past she has threatened me and her various partners with kitchen knives. I hope you have this on record because there was police involvement with her partners and this.
There good names were also dragged through the mud.

Also she has abused me since I was a baby and she has lost her life long feud with her two x husbands this involved/involves her dead parents, they basically abused me and my older brother to get revenge
on Barry and David the two fathers. I do not trust her or feel safe around her.

She came in with a knife in a rage shouting for me to get out of her house.

I honestly believed and felt like my life was in danger.

Because of extreme panic that feels like tooth drilling without aneththetic but in the gut, fear so intense it turns into physical pain.

It is so powerful it stains my gut with a different but intense fear-pain that lasts months,

Its alot worse than terror, so if uve ever genuinely believed you were going to die you may have felt the very horrible feeling that is terror, this is much worse than that

In addition to panic attacks I also suffer with an irregular heart beat and high blood pressure

I have a potent reaction to sound or certain sounds, something that doesnt affect a child can give me that extreme pang of fear that I do not want anyone to underestimate or undermine

So because of the intensity of the fear , and the irregular heart beat and high blood pressure and odd reaction to certain sounds, I feared for my life and safety in that moment.

She was shouting emotively.

Because of the knife she had , and the rage she was in with the knife comming in my direction I also felt for my life and safety in that moment.

So thats 2 reasons for why feared for my life and safety. As stated in the early police interview.

I burst off my bed fast, I didnt have time to think much because of the lack of distance, and I grabbed her right knife forearm

I mouvered her body so she couldnt stab me and "lifted" her by her hair and arm, I walked her into the main room, some dragging was involved on the way as she got closer to the floor, I put her down semi gently
a small lump/dump down being careful not to damage an old ladies body.

I stepped away from her dumped body in one fluid motion the knife still in her hand, and I left out the front door so I could run away if the knife became a danger again.

I stayed outside for a couple of minutes.

I risked it to come back in again to collect my much need survival stuff from the spare room, things like my cash card phone lighter bag and laptop that you really need when you are homeless

She wasnt in the house, I checked carefully especially around corners where distance and time gets compromised, then went into the spare room to collect my stuff.

The police came soon after, I was in the corridoor when they first came. I complied with the police peacefully and respectfully as I do with you.

So it was actually a legal self defence, not an illegal assault.

I would like to add that I took extra risk to my own life to be more gentle than is intelligent/practical, I could have kicked her or hit her with objects in the room which would have been smarter and safer for me, ie
the correct reasonable* force and defence.

But I chose to come forward towards the danger of the knife, up close, risk my life, risk getting stabbed, and then merely pull some hair like a girl in pre school sometimes pulls the hair of another girl.

I think this shows good character rather than abismal character
