HKSAR v. LEE SHINWON AND OTHERS
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC27/2011

Given the undisputed conduct of D4 and D5 and the essential role they played in a carefully planned trafficking scheme, the only reasonable inference on the evidence was that they knowingly participated in the conspiracy; accordingly their convictions and the sentences with starting points adopted by the trial judge (including 4 years for key participants) were upheld.

HKSAR v. CHEN CHUNHUA
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA1053/2008

The appeal court allowed a partial appeal on compassionate grounds: having regard to the appellant's guilty pleas, prior conviction, the established compassionate circumstances (husband's medical treatment and death, family responsibilities and debts) and existing sentencing practice, the appropriate relief was to reduce the concurrent sentences on Counts 1 and 2 from 6 months to 3 months, leaving the 2‑month consecutive sentence for Count 3 intact, thereby reducing total imprisonment from 8 to 5 months and permitting immediate release.

HKSAR v. ESCIO, GALIZIANO KREL

Citation

HKSAR v. ESCIO, GALIZIANO KREL
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA374/2007

The appeal is dismissed because the sentence of 15 months imprisonment imposed by the magistrate was within the permissible range; the magistrate's starting point and application of a guilty plea discount were not such as to require interference and it was proper to order six months of the later sentences to run consecutively to the earlier sentences.
