Transcript of the Audio Recording of the Sentence in the above Case
COURT: So Man-ho, I have taken into account everything urged on your behalf. On Charge 1, which is of simple possession of 13.51 grammes of a powder containing 9.89 grammes of ketamine, I adopt a starting point of 12 months’ imprisonment. On Count 2, which is of unlawful trafficking of 548.49 grammes of a powder containing 419.68 grammes of ketamine, I adopt a starting point of 10 years’ imprisonment.
The only real mitigation available to you consists of your pleas of guilty and your co-operation with the police. Giving you a one-third discount for those pleas on each charge, I pass on you sentences of 8 months’ imprisonment on Charge 1 and 6 years and 8 months’ imprisonment on Charge 2. I order that those terms of imprisonment be served concurrently with each other, so your total sentence is 6 years and 8 months’ imprisonment.
