suicidal thoughts and cutting

[mrk2010]

In one way I hope it works out for you both in another way I hope justice is done both for your partner and the injured people. In my view no-one has the right to place their hands on anyone and even more so with a weapon. If he is exhibiting self harm / suicidal behaviour it may be prudent to have him seek psychological help.

Based on the legal stuff he may be convicted of "Assault with a deadly weapon", he may also be convicted of "Attempted manslaughter/ murder". But one thing did he take your weapon out expecting trouble? If so that could be interpretted as planning. Personally I would expect him to do time for what he has done, if this was the UK he would do some prison time because knife crime has been cracked down on over the years. At the end of the day I hope justice is done on both sides for the attackers and your boyfriend, but to me knife crime is one of the most abhorent things someone can do.

Good luck . . .
