判 案 理 由 書
1.上訴人經認罪後被裁定一項「對他人身體加以嚴重傷害」罪成立,違反香港法例第212 章《侵害人身罪條例》第19 條,處入獄10 個月,與現有的18 個月刑期分期執行。上訴人不服,現就判刑提出上訴。
2.以下是上訴人所承認的事實 (原文以英文寫成) :
“PW1 and D are serving their sentence at the same dormitory of A/L. At above time while PW1 and other prisoners were taking a rest at the canteen of A/L after lunch and PW2-3 were on duty inside the said canteen. PW2 saw D holding a piece of stone (Exh.1) and walking towards the middle of the canteen. Knowing that something might happen, PW2 immediately shouted D to stop but in vain as PW2 saw D hit the head of PW1 with the stone from behind for two to three times already. PW2 immediately dashed towards and subdued D with assistance of PW3. PW1 was sent for medical treatment and was treated by PW4. A report was made and D was arrested by PW5 and Exh.1 was seized by PW6. Under caution, D stated that as he had a dispute with PW1 over the noise caused by PW1, he therefore assaulted him (Exh.2).
2. When interviewed by PW6 under caution (Exh.3) with assistance of the interpreter (PW7), D stated that as he had been bullied by PW1 and other inmates of the same dormitory in the past few days, he therefore attacked PW1 with a piece of stone.
3. Medical finding of PW1 are as follows (Exh.4):
- Linear laceration 2cm & 1.5cm long each over the vertex
- 1.5cm laceration over right temporal region
- 1.5cm x 2cm haematoma over the vertex of head
- 2 dots abrasion over right eyebrow
- A dot of abrasion over left middle finger
- 2cm long peeling off skin of right forearm
- 2cm long abrasion over right foot
- 1.5cm long abrasion at right foot with a dot abrasion between the 1st & 2nd toe of left foot
(Admitted into QE Custodial Ward & discharged on 2006-01-10)”
3.至於判刑理由,裁判官則有以下的說明 (原文見裁判官的書面判詞) :
「3. 上訴人現年43 歲,正因非法入境罪服刑18 個月。他已離婚,子女與前妻生活。
4. 本席認為在服刑期間襲擊其他囚犯是嚴重罪行,加上上訴人當時以石頭為武器,蓄意使受害人受嚴重傷害,應該重判。姑念受害人沒有永久傷殘,只須留院兩天,所以本席以15 個月為判刑起點,上訴人認罪可獲減刑5 個月,故判他入獄10 個月。
5. 本案與上訴人現時服刑的罪行沒有任何關係,也沒有值得寬大的減刑理由。所以,本席判這10 個月與上訴人現行的刑期分期執行。」
4.最後,上訴人所持的上訴理由,翻來覆去的都不外事主阻礙他休息,他向懲教署人員投訴又不受理,反而遭事主得悉而準備向他暴力報復,所以他才決定先發制人。
5.然而,上訴人所言者都不是有效的上訴理由,而且與他所承認的事實並不完全吻合。
6.總括而言,本案的判刑並無問題,這是本席的判斷。上訴駁回。
