Transcript of the Audio Recording
of the Sentence in the above Case
-------------------------------------------
COURT:
Woo Ka-wai, I have taken into account everything said on your behalf. You stand convicted of one charge of trafficking in a dangerous drug. You pleaded guilty in the Magistrates’ Court and you have been committed to this court for sentence. The offence was committed on 8 June 2017 at a hotel lift lobby in Tin Shui Wai where you were intercepted and searched by police officers when the dangerous drugs in the charge were found inside the rear pocket of your jeans.
The drugs involved were 13.1 grams of a crystalline solid containing 13 grams of methamphetamine hydrochloride, commonly known as “ice”. The estimated street value of these drugs was HK$4,493.
All things considered I adopt a starting point of 7 years’ imprisonment. Having taken into account everything urged on your behalf, in particular your plea of guilty at the Magistrates’ Court, I give you a full one-third discount thereby reducing the sentence to one of 4 years and 8 months’ imprisonment. You are therefore sentenced to 4 years and 8 months’ imprisonment.
