I will be appealing the decision again as I feel it was slightly unfair again. Doesn't everyone have the right to a fair trial or something? The costs (£700) were no where near £5000 -£10,000 as some of you were saying it could be? I will be appealing because of my anxiety resulting in a lack of clarity (caused by my legal aid lawyer backing out because my aid was rejected) caused I beleive some confusion in the court. The Judge and two magistrates where solely focussed on trying to change the fine, which I couldn't care less about. I will send of the appeal and hopefully it will get accepted. I would like to be able to let you guys know if it get accepted and the results of it when they arrive.

I am not stopping until I have this conviction removed. Where can you read the transcripts that will be quite interesting to see. He was actually pretty understanding, he did not mention the representation issues. The judges were too focused on the fine and seemed to not understand that I did not care about the fine, this was probably my fault, as I said I was very nervous and did not get my point across as well as I could. My lawyer letting me down on that last day was pretty unacceptable and will be the main reason for my next appeal. (just a question, do TFL get costs then since I did not have to pay them, how does that work?)

Hi everyone. Went to crown court today, my lawyer guy backed out the night before as my legal aid got rejected for some reason. So I had to represent myself. Basically I was told couldn't appeal the conviction only sentence, spoke to the barrister of TFL and she was helpful told me I may be able to get the the my criminal record conditionally discharged if I am lucky. Anyway after talking in court they decided that they would change nothing about my sentence. The TFL side tried to make me pay £700 costs but the judge rejected that, so I didn't have to pay anything. Anyway since my lawyer guy backed out the day before leaving me no time to get a replacement and me to stand for myself I will be trying to appeal this decision as I feel I was unable to get my point across due to crippling anxiety and nervousness. Anyway for this reason I will be appealing my sentence again as I feel it was slightly unfair. If that fails then I will be sending my appeal to the criminal case review commission to see if they think they can help. I know I will get a lot of stick for this but it is my life and I should be able to appeal as much as I want to and I still genuinely believe that I have been misfortunate in these situation and deserve another chance. Thank you for your help

Mate do not ever plead guilty! I did and it was the worst mistake of my life! TFL are idiots and they don't oftent settle out of court, I tried emails, phone calls and letter but they were rude and unforgiving. Do not plead guilty!
-
Just got back from them. Yeah it looks like I will be getting legal aid I think. The solicitor guy won't be representing me, he is sending someone that can to meet me on the day. The solicitor guy did say it was near impossible 99.99? to remove the criminal record. However, it may get sent back to the magistrates court, where it may get reversed. And please don't close the thread, I would like to let people know how I get on on Thursday.

Going to a local solicitors today to try and get legal aid. (Without legal aid his price will be £800 not including vat)
-
I know this must seem like a joke to most people, but it is my life and my whole future. Yes I have made many, many mistakes but I hope I can help myself
-
I know it is dragging out a bit but I can't help that It truly was a mistake and I believe the justice system will see that.

I'm glad my suffering and despair provides a source of entertainment for some people.
-
Yeah I mean I will always be well off no matter what happens. I don't need to do much work to achieve that. I know I come across quite bad on here but I really am not too bad
-
They don't know about this whole process and I don't mean it like that just that I can work with them or something if it all goes wrong.
-
Well my family is pretty wealthy, not me personally right now
-
What question? I will try to get legal aid. If I can great, if not I guess I will have to pay
-
I will call them up later today. Hopefully will pass. Not sure about the interests of justice part. Also what does legal aid actually pay for?
-
Yeah but if I can get help paying for it why shouldn't I? I will try find out some more about it tomorrow when I visit my citizens advice bureau.
