HCCC101/2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE CRIMINAL CASE NO. 101 OF 2009 ----------------------
---------------------- Before: The Honourable Mrs Justice V Bokhary Date: 12 June 2009 at 9.52 am
Offence: Trafficking in a dangerous drug (販運危險藥物) ----------------------------------------------- Transcript of the Audio Recording ----------------------------------------------- COURT: Chan Pak-hang, you have been convicted of one count of trafficking in ketamine. You stand so convicted on your own plea of guilty – that is to your credit. The quantity involved in this case is 252.75 grammes of a powder containing 212.67 grammes of ketamine. The appropriate starting point for that quantity of drugs is, in my view, 8 years’ imprisonment, which is indeed the starting point urged by your counsel that I should adopt. I have taken into account everything said on your behalf in mitigation by your counsel, particularly your plea of guilty, and I shall give you a full one-third discount. You are therefore sentenced to 5 years and 4 months’ imprisonment. |
