CACC000176/2002 CACC 176/2002 IN THE HIGH COURT OF THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION COURT OF APPEAL CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 176 OF 2002 (ON APPEAL FROM DCCC 99 OF 2002) ______________
______________ Coram: Hon Mayo VP in Court Date of Hearing: 16 July 2002 Date of Judgment: 16 July 2002 _______________ J U D G M E N T _______________ 1.The applicant asks that he be put on probation on account of the fact that he is remorseful and needs to look after his grandmother. 2.This was a very serious offence. The applicant and another man mugged a female and snatched her handbag. There were no convincing mitigating circumstances. But for his relatively tender age of 17 years he would have received a substantial term of imprisonment. Having regard to all the circumstances the Judge was entirely right to order that the applicant should be remanded in a training centre. 3.The application for leave to appeal against sentence is dismissed.
