The judge concluded Mme Chow's in-court testimony was blatantly inconsistent with her earlier police statement on multiple material points, satisfying the standard under section 12 Evidence Ordinance to declare her a hostile witness; leave was granted to the prosecution to cross-examine her subject to laying the foundation of the previous statement and affording the witness an opportunity to explain the inconsistencies.
