    Citation
    R. v. LAU CHOR HUNG
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC69/1995

    The conviction was upheld because the jury were entitled to accept the accomplice's detailed evidence which was corroborated by fingerprint and documentary evidence, surveillance and undercover operations; the summing‑up was fair and comprehensive so alleged judicial prejudice or failures were unfounded; complaints about non‑disclosure and trial conduct were matters for defence counsel and did not render the trial unsafe; the sentence of 8 years was within proper range given the offence's seriousness, international implications and applicant's antecedents.
