You can get disclosure from the police which will tell you what evidence they have against you. You can give evidence at your trial to explain your side of what happened
Chris The Lawyer, Expert
It is something where the judge will need to decide who is telling the truth at the trial
Chris The Lawyer, Expert
Is this your first offence?
Chris The Lawyer, Expert
You may get diversion if this is your first offence. This means you do not get a conviction. When you go to court next you should ask the duty lawyer to help you get diversion and see if the police will agree
Chris The Lawyer, Expert
That may be a good reason to try for diversion, as you will not get a conviction and will not be deported
Chris The Lawyer, Expert
You would certainly need to explain that to immigration, but it may not be serious enough for deportation. And if you do not get diversion you could apply for a discharge without conviction
Chris The Lawyer, Expert
It will be on your record, but you could still apply for diversion
Chris The Lawyer, Expert
It is serious, but it may not be enough for deportation
Chris The Lawyer, Expert
Give clear and honest evidence
Chris The Lawyer, Expert
Then you and your friends need to tell the truth to the judge and see who is believed
