The trial judge's detailed credibility findings and assessment of the evidence were reasonable and unassailable on appeal; eyewitness testimony and appellant's on-scene statements supported the theft conviction, appellant's depression was not raised with evidence at trial so could not vitiate the conviction on appeal, and the HK$5,000 fine for a first-time shoplifting offence was within an appropriate sentencing range and not manifestly excessive.
