The court convicted the respondent of contempt because his police report and repeated media statements constituted threats and intimidation of a prosecution witness (PW8) and prospective witnesses, creating a real and inherent risk of interfering with the administration of justice; the conduct evidenced the requisite mens rea and actus reus for contempt beyond reasonable doubt, while the applicant's expanded allegation about influencing trial outcome was dismissed as not particularized in the Order 52 statement.
