Transcript of the Audio Recording
of the Sentence in the above Case
--------------------------------------------
COURT:
Yeung Chun-hin, as Ms Yip, I believe, appreciates, you have really no mitigation whatsoever. You have been found guilty after trial. You have a previous conviction for drug trafficking. Admittedly, it was 12 years ago.
It is clear from what Ms Yip has told me that she has informed you of the guidelines set down as to how judges should sentence people who choose to traffic in ‘Ice’ and I am going to follow those guidelines. There is no reason to depart from them.
The active content of the over 500 grammes of a mixture that you had was 337 grammes of ‘Ice’ and as I am sure Ms Yip has told you, that puts you in the sentencing range of between 15 to 20 years’ imprisonment.
Having regard to your previous convictions, I have decided the appropriate sentence for you is a sentence of 16 years’ imprisonment.
I am quite happy that you remain in court and that you see your wife, daughter and grandchild before you are taken down.
