香港特別行政區 訴 李日權
Read the full judgment text of DCCC 869/2008 on BabelCite. This District Court judgment was delivered on 20 March 2009 before 區域法院暫委法官馬保華.
Criminal law – trafficking in dangerous drugs – ketamine (149.73g) – sentencing guidelines – guilty plea – one-third discount – prior convictions as aggravating factor – special reasons for further reduction – admissions to police – caught red-handed – self-use claim – sentence. The defendant pleaded guilty to trafficking 149.73g of ketamine and the prosecution facts were agreed. Applying the sentencing guidelines in Secretary for Justice v Hii Siew Cheng 許守城 CAAR 7/2006 and HKSAR v Wong Yat San 黃日新 CACC 126/2007, the court adopted 7 years as the starting point. The defendant had four prior convictions, including two for trafficking dangerous drugs; following HKSAR v Cheung Chun Keung CACC 525/2005, the court treated these as an aggravating factor and adjusted the starting point upward to 90 months. The defendant received a one-third discount for guilty plea, reducing the sentence to 60 months; the court then exercised its discretion to further reduce the sentence to 50 months for special reasons. Applying Secretary for Justice v Hau Ping Chuen [2008] 4 HKLRD 673, the court refused any further reduction for the defendant's admissions to police given that he was caught red-handed. Applying HKSAR v Wong Suet Hau, Ice & Chan Sau Pang [2002] 1 HKLRD 69, the court refused any further reduction for the unsubstantiated claim of self-use. The defendant was sentenced to 50 months' imprisonment.

DCCC869/2008 香港特別行政區 區域法院 刑事案件2008年第869號 ------------------ 香港特別行政區 訴 李日權 ------------------ 主審法官： 區域法院暫委法官馬保華 日期： 2009年3月20日下午2時46分
控罪： 販運危險藥物（Trafficking in a dangerous drug） 判刑理由書 1.被告在本席前承認非法販運149.73克氯胺酮，同意控方案情，本席裁定罪名成立。 2.按綜合案件Secretary for Justice v Hii Siew Cheng許守城CAAR 7/2006、HKSAR v Wong Yat San黃日新CACC 126/2007的判刑指引，本席認為適當採納入獄7年為判刑起點。被告四次被定罪，兩次的罪行為非法管有危險藥物，而兩次為非法販運危險藥物。最後一次2005年12月被定罪，因為販運危險藥物，被判入獄43個月。本席認為，被告的前科構成加重罪責的因素（例見HKSAR v Cheung Chun Keung CACC 525/2005），本席將判刑起點向上調整為90個月。 3.被告承認罪行，本席予以一般的三分一刑罰扣減，刑期減為60個月。本席認為特別理由存在，將刑期再減為50個月。 4.被告曾向警方作出某些招認（見控方案情第2段），但案情表示被告是束手被擒的，本席不應再減刑（例見Secretary for Justice v Hau Ping Chuen [2008] 4 HKLRD 673）。 5.辯方大律師指，有部分危險藥物被告會自用，但又表示不能說出那部分為何。本席留意到HKSAR v Wong Suet Hau, Ice & Chan Sau Pang [2002] 1 HKLRD 69有關這方面的意見，本席認為不應再減刑罰。 6.除上文第3段所述，本席見不到其他減刑理由。本席裁定被告入獄50個月。
