View Full Version : Help/advice needed
hey guys
need a bit of help from anyone who can, i was stabbed at 5am on new years day this year, i have only just been able to get back up on my feet and if anyone can help me with advice and legal stuff as im sure someone will have known or had the same thing before then i would really appreciate it. The punk who did it stuck a 6 inch steak knife in my chest just below my right nipple, it grazed my 7th and 8th ribs but thankfully missed lungs, liver, everything...in short im very lucky to be alive and im thankful....puts a lot of things in perspective
the guy who did it i actually know, hes at uni on the same course, i had known him for 4 months and this was all over some drunken jealousy of a girl he liked who liked me...i didnt even ****ing know about this ****:rolleyes:
anyway, all this police and court stuff is crazy so if anyone can offer any help please let me know, im tired enough as it is
cheers in advance

That's well rough Matt. :(
Glad things are getting back to normal though, and hope you make a full recovery.
I've no idea how to go about the legal stuff, I guess you need witnesses, did you tell the hospital at the time, did they involve the police, IE is there any documented evidence etc?
I have zero faith in the plod making his life as miserable as it should be though. :mad:
fkuc just remeberd what happened. They caught the girl who stabbed my mate later on in the evening completey pissed and asked her if she'd done it. She said "Yes" !!!!
Sorry mate, not gonna help too much. But yes, you will need witnesses.
Dave

Matt, that’s bad mate :( I was in a similar position when I was at uni. Basically three lads started on my mates while we where at the pub playing pool. Something to do with they reckoned we insulted his missus, anyway she did look like a pig. Anyway it one of the lads hit one of my mates with a bottle, this then spilled out onto the street outside, general football stylee two of my mates got there snooker cues out, as you do. Though it went well as it was basically 7 on 2, because one had ran down the next street and into his house. The little tw*t then ran out of his house with a carving knief, he then when for us. One lad got stabbed though the hand, another slash across the face and another in the leg. We got hold of him and smash him onto the bonnet of a BMW and began to give him some free reconstructive surgery :D :D :D :D :D :D
Anyway police turned up and we all got arrested, it when to court. Basically this lad, got left off by the judge, because she said he had a bright future. He got community service :confused: :confused: :confused:
We all got let off with counts of ABH, but had to pay for the BMW to be repaired. But in terms of compensation, all three were awarded compensation of, 2x£1100 and one at £2000.
There is no justice in this country, how can you be attacked by someone with a knife. Have eyewitness of the act and the attack gets let off because he has a bright future. :confused: :confused: :confused:
Although the only thing that made us feel better after the trail was that he ended up with a broken arm, check, jaw and four ribs ;)
The British judicial system stinks! You should have been in court by now, did you have him charred!
Si :)

Glad your on the mend mate. A sort of similar thing happened to my brother, He got hit round the head by a fence post. Cracked his skull a bit lot most of his sight in one eye and has a nice scar at least the girls dig it:D :D . We are still on the lookout for who did it. When we do they wish they hadn't:mad: :mad: .
I will ask him as he had to go through all the legal proceedings.
Do you like this guy who did it to you. Basically are you still friend or do you hate him with a vengance. :confused: :confused: .
If you don't like him tell the fuzz everything and get him put in with the soap requesters.:D :D
Get well soon.
Dan,

Hiya mate, sorry to hear about this, knife's are the cowards way of sorting things.
Get ready for a lot of hassel and wasted time, sorry to say:(
Your better off sorting it out yourself as he'll more than likely only get a slap on the wrists.
My mate got glassed in the face, police/cps never told him when the case was to be heard, he had to constantly call them himself. they kept changing the court date without letting him know. when it eventualy did get to court nearly a year later they called him on the friday to tell him it was being heard on the monday. He turned up and the clerk didnt know who he was and hadnt heard of the case:rolleyes: then he found out the court the case was meant to be heard in was occupied and had to wait 5 hours before they told him to go home. 2 days later the case was heard and the guy got off scott free because of his previouse good charecter.
So like I say follow him one night and beat the crap out of him, you'll have lot's of alibies that you were down south that night ;)

Matt, as stated you'll get no satisfaction going though the courts. As with everything, the only way to sort something out is to do it your self ;) ;) ;)
Are you full healed now? Sounds like your were quite lucky not to hit a major internals :eek:
Si :)

Just another thought m8 - whilst convalesing you didn't happen to see Coronation Street last night did you? :D Now there's an idea :D:D:D
CheerZ,
Andy
:eek: Can't offer any legal advise Im afriad - just hope you get make a full recovery and get everything sorted out. However you end up doing it ;)

14-01-2003, 15:57
Best advice I can give you is go to the citizens advice bureaux - if you are lucky you will get someone that knows a fair bit about this kind of stuff.
Sh1t mate sorry to hear about, what is the world coming to????:mad: If you dont get one girl, then you move on to the next they can't all sat NO can they;) :p :D
as for advice i will ask my BRO he is a policeman:eek: :eek: but please dont hold that against me:p ;) I remember when my mates bro's 220 gti got robbed the police left the name, address amd all the other details out on display while he went for a 5 min break:D :D. truthly mate it the innocennt people the cops usually make an example of, but i would wait for the outcome of the trial amd take it from there.........then when it all over and he forgot about it pay him a little visit:D
Jesus I can't believe someone would go to such lengths over a woman. Now if you had scratched his car.....

'kin ell, that was a bit of an OTT reaction, the man must be a fekin lunatic.
Glad your OK anyways.
Sorry to hear about it mate, afraid I can't help on the legal side of things either :(
Hope you make speedy recovery :)
Wait until you can get whatever compensation etc, then I would seriously look at getting some arrangements made to smash his face up, so the twat can't speak and will have to drink through a strw for the next few weeks.

Hi Matt, glad your now up to sitting at the PC for a while!;)
as for the legal stuff sorry but i;m not up on that, just hope he gets all he's got comming!!!
Hate to hear bout this sort of things!!! Hope you´ll get better soon.
I had a mate who got stabbed in the arm when fending off this little f*** . The guy had to move after that cause whenever one of us saw this little ***** he got the beating of a lifetime...;)
(Even the little *****s friends didnt get between)
"What goes around comes around"
Fcuk mate..:(
At least ure ok now..
My sister is a solictor, I will ask her whether she can provide me with any info.. :)
Wow, FCUK, really sorry to hear that mate.
He must have a death wish.
Has he not seen the size of u???
Seriously though, yeah go the legal way first, u maybe even get some money back for it (i know it dont make it better, but its summat) then leave it a few months and bump into him with a couple of mates...............
Sorry mate i know nout bout legal stuff either.

My sentiments exactly.
As Steve said,
1. if you decide to give him a good kickin, you'll have plenty of alibis down south.
2. Don't let the stabbing be in vain. Get the girl.
And Steve.... of course it must have hurt :rolleyes:
Matt. Hope you're well soon.
That makes me feel all funny inside!
Hope you get well soon.
Why do people do crazy stuff like this?
That is not good news, i know what it is like, been there done that, got the bloody t-shirt.
Can't help out legally, other than reinforce what has been said here already, but if you would rather handle the situation yourself, i have freinds in low places........
Right, My sis e-mailed me back but as she doesnt work in that type of business she couldnt give an in-depth piece of advice.
what did say was this:
suggest he have a fixed fee interview then, should cost between 25 -£40 and he will know where he stands. Or try the citizens advice bureau, or the cop shop.
He wants to sue, rather than imprison does he? cops will deal with it if its GBH, but he will only get compensation from the CIB which isnt usually much, and depends on his history. what about legal aid?
Hope that helps at all. If not sorry man. Hope you sort it out tho.:(

****. it just shows that this place is getting the **** hole of the world.... Get well soon Matt.
Fcuk me :eek: Glad you're on the mend m8.
You need to take legal advice and by that I don't mean from Claims Direct or some other dodgy outfit but from a propper reputable solicitor.
You'll be wanting to take civil action over this and in order to strengthen your case you'll need your solicitor to keep an eye on what the CPS is up to so that they don't stuff a prosectution up.
Although the scrote probably hasn't got any money a successsful civil suite will screw him financially for many years to come when he does get a job. You also need to be recompensed for everything you've been through and may go through in the future (psychological and physical).
See a brief mate. He/she may cost money but they'll sort it out so that you don't have to bother with it.
Jesus, Matt!! What a shocker :(
Glad to hear you're OK, mate - get well soon and all that.
as everyones allready said matt, glad your ok and on the mend. no advice im affraid, never bean involved in anything like that meself. drinks a funny thing, it can really bring out the evil in someone....
Really sorry to hear this Matt. Hope your're OK. Can't comment on a legal standing, but I'd be inclined to get him done, sue him for whatever you can get, then once he's escaped a long-term trauma caused by picking up soap at HMP, arrange for him to have a little accident. If you do decide to get him sorted, leave it a good while before you do anything, could be seen as a revenge attack, plus revenge is sweeter if he thinks its all forgotten.
Take care mate

Bloody 'ell Matt :eek: So glad you are on the mend though. Feck me.
Had a few scrapes in my time. A few years ago I got really really pissed and ejected from a club and was jumped (unprovoked) by a few blokes. I was incapable of defending myself at the time and got a serious beating. Cracked ribs, shoe marks down the face that sort of thing.
Can't really remember much about it. At least you know who it was. The Police as usual said they couldn't do much about it because they didn't have anything on CCTV and I couldn't even remember what they looked like.
Its my understanding you will be entitiled to a certain amount of compensation from the criminal injuries board. I don't think its a huge amount generally.. I'd speak to the Citizens Advice Bureau or a decent brief about it though.
AS for him, if he's a Uni student I think a stretch in chokey will ruin his career prospects and hopefully give him a crash course in manly love....
I guess if you pursue it as a civil case, he will be punished financially instead. And if you do decide to dish out your own justice make sure you have a cast iron alibi......

Fecking Outrageous :eek:
Get the fecker put away before he does kill someone mate and all the best and a speedy recovery to you.
Christ, what are some f*ckers like? Glad you're OK, glad it wasn't worse - you got away with relatively minor damage, and in years to come, that scar could pay dividends! ;) :D I've seen stabbings with even less motivation than this- one even seemed to have been an attempt at a joke :confused: Anyway... like someone else said, make sure you get the girl :) and make it very public. :)
Anyway... what has your uni done about it? If you want revenge, in various ways, getting him chucked off his course would be a good start - this was a violent criminal act. Tell them that you can't concentrate in the same lecture theatre as him, that the thought of coming to work brings you out in a cold sweat ('cos you wanna kill him, don't say), that you've been psychologically affected by this.
I know you're tired with the whole thing - it must have been a massive strain both physically and mentally - but you'll not be happy unless you've sorted it so you feel even. Handing it over to a good solicitor would be a good idea for the legal aspects, and would take some of the pressure off you. Would you, as a student, qualify for subsudised legal help (http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/index/your_rights/legal_system/help_with_legal_costs.htm)? The CAB should be able to help with this. Decent solicitors should be willing to discuss your case with you for a short time for no, or little, fee. Try phoning around some local ones, to see how they operate.
Get better, get your strength back... ;)
Ho Lee Sheet :eek: :(
Hope you get what ever revenge you want mate and recover to 100% really soon.
wow
i cant thank you enough for all your support, its a ****ed up situation, i never realised that in this position i would have to justify my thoughts and things to so many people in an effort to help them understand what is right and wrong here....i am talking about uni and police here;)
just had another meeting with the head bloke of uni, hes been really good but had been recommended by a DC in Oxford that the bloke who stabbed me had been really apologetic and wasnt likely to do it again so there shouldnt be a problem with him coming back to uni.....this was in contrast to the uni head's first thoughts that he wouldnt let the bloke back, he then needed to hear from me, i am of course concerned....i cant see how he could be allowed back, i dont go stabbing people cos of the rules there are and i wouldnt expect freebies had i done it, no second chances and all that...
anyway this is becoming a debate amongst the uni board, they have to discuss it so i should know in the next 2 weeks, personally i dont know how i will react in seeing him as and when i do...you always think you know how you will react to situations but this for one has taught me that you never know until it happens:( and as for every film i have watched since where people get stabbed then pull it out and kill 30 guys, whatever....believe me everything leaves your body, you dont have the strength to lift your hand and plug up the wound easy...
police situation should come up soon, i fully understand what all you guys have said the police arent as on the ball as i would expect and i know if i dont pursue it he will get off no problems, makes you wonder though had i died would it have been taken differently or would they still view him as someone who has 1 year left at uni and all this will do is ruin his career? also, after seeing a police officer being killed resulting from stab wounds does it wake up the force as to how serious these things can be? i dont know, my ehad is in pieces at the moment but i have seen the councillor this morning to talk, every time i see news of stabbings or anything from now on its a totally different reaction, one i am reminded of every time i wake up beacause i cant breathe well or when i put on a shirt and see the puncture wound......bollock to it...
theres far too many people for me to respond to but for all of you offering help, advice or support i want you to know its incredibly well appreciated, this sort of thing really means a lot when mending and dealing with things, so for all your suggestions and offers and gestures i appreciate them a thousand times over and maybe one day i will see you in person to let you know how much it means to me.....i will follow up with more info when needed as best i can;)
altho one comment does stand out that i remember to reply to and its to steve carter......yes it bloody hurt you maniac!;) take a look at one of the knives in your cutting block and imagine it going straight in an inch beneath your right nipple with the force of a punch;)

That makes it alright then, shake hands, kiss and make up. :rolleyes: FFS
On the two occaisions i got stabbed, the police didn't get invloved so i can't say how they would have handled it, but that attitude really sucks. It is easy to compare this instance with how the justice system treats the speeding motorist and get pissed off with the way the system works but this is bolloks. It wasn't like a smack in the mouth or something, considering the nature of the attack and where the injury occurred, that's attemted murder.
The Dean (was it the dean you saw?) sounds like he is covering up a potential scandal at his university.
tell me about it mate, seems everyone feels sorry for this guy cos he might have ruined HIS life, **** that...
where were you stabbed mate? i know it may be a question you might not want asked but PM me back if you want to, it just might help knowing more, hence i posted on here in the first place, to talk about it with someone whos been there im sure would help....
i spoke the the deputy Dean bloke, he was basically ace, his profession is psychology and hes been the only person who i have believed to give a **** about it, the guy above him disagrees with him, that bloke is the dean, and i bet you are right mate, i will know soon enough but it wont be just covered up if im involved, cheers for all your help;)

Good luck with it all Matt.
I hope the fcuker who did this gets what he deserves one way or the other :mad:
Just an update to you all on the brilliance of our judicial system...
This friday is the plea hearing for the incident i was involved in...charged with GBH with intent, the guy who stabbed me is expected to plead guilty to a charge of GBH, which is one charge down. This is supposed to be great because the police reckon he will get a criminal record which is better than nothing but no custodial sentence. They reckon they cant pursue the GBH with intent charge because unfortunately no one can prove that he actually wanted or intended to kill me, even tho he put a 5 inch blade all the way into my chest 2 inches away from my heart:rolleyes:
as such, they want to pursue the GBH charge, where they get him a criminal record, he doesnt go to jail, because its a first offence of course! This means he basically walks out scot free with a criminal record, now call me cynical, but i think thats a piss take, however i havent been updated by the police well at all no matter how i have tried, i have no energy to continue chasing this up and it seems i have to sit here and take this stuff right up the arse....
i reckon i just have to deal with this, its shit but it seems this is just the way it is, isn't it a pity that more people dont know that they can go round stabbing people and get away with nbot going to jail:mad:
thanks to all for offers of help
from a severly depressed matt_j:(
What a crock of sh1te :eek: FFS what do you need to do to prove you intend to kill someone when you stab them? Write them a note explaining the what you are trying to acheive? :( :mad:
Have you looked into the victim compensation scheme or what ever it is called? Sorry if this is explained in a previous post :o
Hope you can get this over with and put it behind you very soon m8

hey fellah,
yeah looked into criminal compensation, nothing compensating for a stabbing just mental trauma or whatever, whatever compensation it is im sure it will be better than nothing however minimal, but i would pay the amount given to see him in jail...
isn't it bizarre? i said to the copper hemust have been trying to tickle me with that knife then the way he shoved it in, FFS i dont expect someone to live if i were to stoop that low. Hey thanks for your help tho, just been re-reading everryone's comments on here and in PM's, thats what has really helped and will help me get over it, but a lotta guys on here were right, the british judicial system aint gonna do anything for me....oh how right they were....
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
If thats all you get for stabbing someone... go and stab him yourself...:mad: :mad: :mad:
you would think something like that would not be let off as easily as that... only a criminal record...:mad: :mad: :mad:
Compensation.... Have you looked into this... Or is there anything happening over it.
You could claim on grounds of being depressed... scared to go out or something along those lines?
Tim
Matt.......... **** knows wat to say mate......... gutted.
Its un ****ing believable that this guy aint goin to jail.
Im speechless...... i mean..... really....... wtf is this coming too?
The really laughable (not really but im sure u know wat i mean) thing ids that if u were now to go and stab him, u would go to jail, they would say it was pre-meditated or sommat.
Here is my suggestion:-
meet with the guy, tell him all is cool, u understand he was drunk/drugged/ tired/ depressed and u understand it was all a reaction, which was totally justifyable.
Now to prove to him that this is the case..........
Invite him to Billing................................
gosh i dunno, think he had too much to drink, he was really "keith c'ing" those aftershocks :D, dunno how he managed to drown in that river, but i have 80+ witnesses that say i was at the camp fire all night without moving!!!!
Ill be one of the....... err witnesses

yeah man i know:(
and that compensation grounds is only too true, the compensation will come but it wont be huge, the first time i have been out since what happened was last thursday, im a lot better now than i was thanks to a load of coucilling so thats all i can go for now, but you are dead right, i said to the policeman, great, so if he comes for me again (which i wouldnt doubt to be honest) and i stab him that means i get a criminal record.....he said i would go to jail.....what the ****
btw, y is it only gbh, and not with a deadly weapon?
innit Kev your reaction was the same as mine, i have no idea where the justice is sometimes but im sure someone else has felt worse for a much worse case, i just thank god im alive...
and thanks for the Billing suggestion:D im sure he will go for it:) i'll be like, "theres this scottish guy i want you to meet!":D
Originally posted by Kev

thats the thing...
theres murder....
then attempted murder apparently but police never said anything about this....
then GBH with intent....which is what he was charged with, basically trying to kill me but failing, in this case by my own luck not his ****ed up tactics..
then GBH....
they are settling for GBH on the basis that they cant prove intent without knowing what was going on his mind, its too risky a charge, if he covercomes the charge which he can quite easily do apparently then he walks away totally scot free, and cant be tried twice.......do you gamble for that? i wanted to...but **** it what do i know..

My Advice... Of sorts... GO TO THE PAPERS!!! You are not telling me that someone that attempted to MURDER someone is even getting considered re-entry into the uni... FFS... It, as someone else says, stinks of a cover up! Yeah so what if it ruins the guys life and career... FFS He nearly ended yours! Go to the papers, local and national, tell them your story, i am sure the rest of the campus would not be happy staying at uni with a potential murderer there... I am new here and do not pretend to know you, but i am glad you are alive, but making sure it does not happen to anyone else is a priority that the police seem to be neglecting... Maybe you should shoot the tosser... but not kill him... Then tell them that you never intended killing him... just wounding... if you get any compo out of it, set some aside to pay some local thugs or pikey gipos to mess the guy up!

:( yeah bring him to billing.:mad:
Sorry If I sound a bit pi$$ed off. But a similar story has happened to someone in my family...
You would think that being the victim you will taken care off and the person in question will be brought to court and dealt with in an appropriate manner (a good kicking comes to mind!)
Obviously ****ing not!:mad:

Now that idea... I like! It can get a little dangerous by some of those lakes after a few drinks...;) Who knows what may happen...:eek:
thanks Tim and ZXspectrum, as much as i like Billing i know he wont, he has expressed to people here that he did what he thought was right and he stands by the fact he did the right thing, bet he wouldnt say that in court tho....
papers is one thing i guess, thing i is i dunno what i would get from it....in the point that its been enough stress doing what i am doing so far....i will have a think, i just gotta be certain that whatever i do i do to get over it not to dwell on it, its not the sota thing you enjoy thinking about or reminding yourself of:(
I was gonna suggest papers too Matt, but u do risk copping a bit of hassle, and if u think bout it, any time u read bout someone being stabbed, u think fook, but then u also think, what did he do to deserve that, and oh the boy has a clean record, he must have been really provoked.
U know thats not wat im saying Matt, honestly im not mate, im just saying u may open urself up to people thinking u provoked him, and it may come back on u.
That said, i dont think it would be a bad idea to threaten the uni with it.
Kev
Matt, what can i say? I talked to a few freinds and most of the advice was not too different from what you have already recieved. The offence they charge him with can only be dropped by you, they can't drop the charges unless you agree to do so. Other than that, they were unable to comment with knowing more details. Most solicitors will give free counsultaion to students, if your are up front with your situation, but you probably know this already.
I can understand your frustration in all this, it is complete bolloks. The Billing thing sounds a cracking idea :D. In all seriousness (sp?), it is going to be a real struggle not too throttle the guy when you next see him (i guess you will see him sooner or later), but it probably isn't a good idea. The judicial system (no smilie for spitting) has failed, i am stunned at the attitude shown by the police, especially after reading a few more of the details.
I can only echo what has been said here already, i am glad that, you are okay (at least physically), the trauma caused by your brain having to overide your instint of wanting to kick the living 5hit out of the guy, may take a little longer to get over.
the sentence was due to be passed on May 2nd, the charge was dropped to GBH only and a prison sentence looked out of the question, hoever i had a call from my mum this morning who had been rung by the Oxford police, turns out the sentence and trial will not go ahead....
why?
because on monday just gone this week, the guy who stabbed me was found dead in his room. He had hung himself, a week previously he tried a drug overdose but was taken to hospital to be pumped. Now he has done it, he did it in his house 10 mins walk from me here and his flatmates found him dead hanging form the ceiling. I dont know, its a weird feeling for me, hated him, he tried to kill me FFS, and we were friends for 3 months before he stabbed me, but now, he was 22 years old and he was gonna get away with it, but **** i never wanted this:( what a waste...
just goes to show what a ****ed up world we can live in at times...
The guy was one messed up individual. He obviously had a lot of problems, none of them yours Matt. At least you can draw a line under this incident and get on with your life now.

Jesus, just read my way through this all. I feel a bit odd hijacking this thread, because I don't think I've ever spoken to you before, but it sounds like this guy's been on a self destruct mission for a long time. It's unfortunate you got in his way :(
Hope you get your life back to normal as soon as possible :)
Cheers,
Graham

matt_j watch out for yourself - when someone dies, there's likely to be some twat that blames you for the total w@nker killing himself.
Just seen the latest on this. I don't know what to say really, it's all so strange. Never thought that things would end up like this.
Hope you're coping ok, matt - must be a weird time you're going through now!

hi mate what a strange world we live in :( hope you doing okay matt and hope thinks work out.
PS love the pic of the car:D am i right in thinking that the rare baby blue colour???? very nice
Matt, what to say again mate....................
As Banjo says, the guy has obviously been on a self destruct mission, and u unfortunately got in his path bud.
Dunno how u should deal with it lumberjack, he didnt get what he deserved, but then looks like he wasnt going to anyway, at least ur not going to be looking over ur shoulder, or having to wonder how ull react when u meet him......................
I dunno mate........ its weird right enough, just hope u can manage some closure from it mate, and can put it down to being none of ur fault (the stabbing i mean, obvoiusly the hanging was nout to do with u), u were just wrong place wrong time guy.
Matin t i dont think ur comments are what Matt needs to hear mate.
Let us know how ur getting on silverback.

Matt... I hope you are coping ok but i am also in agreement with some of the other guys here... I am glad he is dead! It takes one more psycho of the friggin streets! He luckily did not manage to kill you but could of in the future or someone else... Just live safe with the thoughts that he will never be able to do that to you again or anyone else... ;)
Have a big
