The Court upheld the trial judge's findings that the challenged statements were properly admissible and sufficiently reliable despite isolated breaches; the judge was entitled to reject PW4/Suen's evidence and to prefer police evidence on credibility, making the conviction safe; the sentence was within principled discretionary range using Chan Sik-ming tariff and appropriate differences in mitigation justified the disparity with Suen, so no interference was warranted.
