of the Sentence in the above Case
---------------------------------
COURT: The accused, I have taken into account everything urged on your behalf. You having pleaded guilty at the Magistrates’ Court to one charge of trafficking in a dangerous drug, you have been committed to this court for sentence.
The quantity of drugs involved is 0.99 kilogramme of a powder containing 0.79 kilogramme of ketamine. These drugs were imported into Hong Kong from across the border andtherefore calls for enhancement. All things considered, I adopt a starting point of 13 years, enhance it by one year, making a total of 14 years.
I have taken into account everything urged on your behalf. There is really no other real mitigation apart from your plea of guilty for which I shall give you the full one-third discount, thereby reducing the starting point to one of 9 years and 4 months. I therefore sentence you to 9 years and 4 months’ imprisonment.
