HKSAR v. CHEN CHI KEUNG
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC113/2002

Given the proximity in time and location shortly after the attempted burglary, the presence of multiple glass fragments on the applicant's clothing matching the broken door, and the trial judge's acceptance of police credibility, the conviction was supported by an irresistible inference of involvement; appellate interference was unwarranted absent clear error, so leave to appeal was refused and limited custody credit applied.

HKSAR v. LI CHI MING and Others
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC461/1996

The appeal is dismissed because the Court was satisfied the trial judge applied the correct burden and standard of proof, properly assessed the credibility of the police and civilian witnesses (including consideration of POL155s and alleged similarities), and that there was sufficient evidence to convict each applicant beyond reasonable doubt.
