There's no possible way of predicting what the outcome might be. So much is taken in to account such as previous convictions, mitigating circumstances etc

There was a story in our local rag a few months ago about the same thing one guy got 5 years for intimidating a member of the Jury, the other one got 2 years for intimidating a witness.
