    HCMP161/2017

    Independent, untampered CCTV footage showing the applicant (or a person closely resembling him) in Yuen Long at the time of the Hung Hom assault materially undermined the strength of the prosecution identification evidence; prosecution failed to show substantial grounds under CPO s9G to believe the applicant would fail to surrender or interfere with witnesses; accordingly bail was granted subject to conditions.
