Did you glass someone?
So he wasn't convicted of anything before being sent to prison then, though he was on bail at the time of that offence which counted against him. Carroll has a very recent caution for assault. He might do time, he might not, may depend on his plea - don't count your chickens though, use of a weapon is a big aggravating factor.
