New judgments

The appellant was arrested at Hong Kong airport on 8 April 2017 upon arrival from Sao Paulo in possession of two suitcases containing nine cylindrical cans with liquid containing 4,770 grammes of cocaine. In a video-recorded interview after arrest, she claimed she did not know the cans contained a dangerous drug but believed the contents to be Acai juice, which she was bringing for an acquaintance named 'Ching Tse'. She did not testify in her own defence at trial or call any witnesses. The sole issue for the jury was whether it was proved that she knew the suitcases contained dangerous drugs. In closing submissions, prosecuting counsel made impugned remarks referring to her choice not to testify and his inability to cross-examine her to test her credibility.
