The trial of D7 was valid because the magistrate was aware he was a young person (charge sheet and caution statements) and properly exercised the discretion in s3C(2)(c); the caution statements were voluntary and no oppression was alleged or proved at trial so new objections on appeal were impermissible; admissions corroborated by expert evidence about Triad admission practices were sufficient to sustain convictions; sentencing to detention was excessive in light of ages, reports and time in custody and was substituted with probation for 18 months.
