It is a shame your relative didn't stop when the police arrived as that would have been a mitigating factor. The fact that he started the fight will also go against him. Given that police were attacked, I suspect this will go to the Crown Court where a prison sentence is the most likely outcome. Pleading guilty will help him and should result in a lesser sentence. It may allow him to avoid prison completely but that depends on the severity of the offence.
