Citation

TSANG HUNG v. THE QUEEN
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC407/1975

The sketch plan was admissible as a demonstrative sketch; the magistrate was entitled to attach weight to the part of the sketch showing the angle of stoppage because the defendant admitted that angle in cross-examination, and there was no indication the magistrate relied on the sketch for other unproven matters; therefore the conviction stands and the appeal is dismissed.
