Transcript of the Audio Recording
of the Sentence in the above Case
---------------------------------
COURT: Chan Chi-wai, Jimmy, you stand convicted on your own pleas of guilty of two counts of unlawful trafficking in a dangerous drug.
The drugs involved under Count 2 are 0.69 of a gramme of a solid containing 0.67 of a gramme of cocaine hydrochloride and 0.62 of a gramme of a solid containing 0.49 of a gramme of cocaine. The drugs involved under Count 3 are 219.66 grammes of a solid containing 201.51 grammes of cocaine hydrochloride and 23.49 grammes of a solid containing 22.54 grammes of cocaine.
Having regard to the quantity of drugs involved, I adopt a starting point of 2 years’ imprisonment under Count 2 and 12 years’ imprisonment under Count 3.
I have taken into account everything urged in mitigation on your behalf. There is really no real mitigation, apart from your pleas of guilty. All things considered, I shall give you the full one-third discount, reducing the sentences to one of 1 year and 4 months under Count 2 and 8 years under Count 3 to be appropriate.
In all the circumstances, I am prepared to make the two sentences concurrent. You will therefore go to prison for a total of 8 years and I so sentence.
