- HCCC359/2019
The application to adduce Dr Cheng's expert evidence was refused because the evidence was unnecessary for the jury to determine knowledge, Dr Cheng lacked specialist expertise in cyberpsychology, his opinion relied on inadmissible hearsay and assumptions (including assuming a scam and that the defendant was a victim), and part of the report sought to answer the ultimate issue and impinge on credibility which juries are competent to determine.
