The appellate court upheld the conviction because, notwithstanding exclusion of involuntary admissions, independent credible evidence (firefighter's testimony and photographs) and findings about the appellant's control of the flat and possession of the items established beyond reasonable doubt that she was the person in charge and had permitted the fire hazard to recur; the HK$10,000 fine was within lawful sentencing discretion and not manifestly excessive.
