can anyone help with this?
a notice of criminal charge has just arrived in the post - for my 20 year old son, relating to some climate change activism he took part in in 2023.
the offences are "interference with use / operation of key national infrastructure" x2 on the same date and place - ie being on a slow march.
my kid is trans and partly because of that and partly for other obvious reasons, I don't want him to end up in jail.
should i get a lawyer? i'm wondering if the best option is to plead guilty and maybe it'll just be a fine?
i'm worried cos putting climate change protesters in jail seems to be all the rage right now.
