I

I confirm that I will give a full an accurate testimony

based solely on the facts

based solely on the facts

the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Calling Central Control! Car 21!

We are currently in Kam Tin and require backup!

There has been an attack on an EU vehicle and we need an ambulance!

There are around 15 male suspects

heavily armed! Please send reinforcements as soon as possible!

On July 27

I received orders from headquarters

stating that our assault team was under attack.

The suspects responsible for this attack

belonged to a criminal gang we were chasing.

Open fire!

Three in front!

Suppress fire!

Go! Go!

Take cover!

Officer Lee! Left! Front! One suspect!

Man down! Cover!

Ten people in Zone B!

We're under heavy fire!

A colleague is injured

Cover Officer Fok!

Officer Fok! Cover me!

Go to hell

Eight more in Zone B

All round defense!

Hold on

Officer Fok! Watch out above!

Stoppage!

Out of the way

Based on what you saw

what was the first defendant

doing at the scene?

I saw Officer Leung Mei-yee

chasing the first defendant

Hold it!

Stop!

I saw the first defendant escape through the back door

so I gave chase.

When you were carrying out your mission

and pursuing my client

were you wearing your police ID?

The situation was chaotic.

During the chase

In other words

I had no idea she was a police officer.

After I heard gunshots

this crazy woman

rushed at me

At that time

to subdue the first defendant

Cheung Man-bing

In other words

I absolutely disagree.

I absolutely disagree.

He was forced to defend himself

Officer Leung made every attempt

to subdue the first defendant

who was intentionally resisting arrest.

Go to hell!

The prosecution points out

that you had no reason to be at that deserted ruin.

How do you explain it?

I wanted to film some supernatural things

to post on my Youtube channel.

We couldn't find any photographic equipment at the crime scene.

The defendant is giving false testimony

and openly disrespecting the court.

In this era

can easily be used to film with.

The accusations made by the prosecution are unreasonable.

All ten of the suspects arrested

deny any acquaintance with my client

which is sufficient to prove

that my client has no connection to this case whatsoever.

Of course they wouldn't betray their boss!

Of course they wouldn't betray their boss!

Are you for real?

Silence!

Your Honor

it is highly likely that these suspects are lying

so their testimonies cannot be considered as reliable evidence.

The fact is that after the police conducted their forensic search

no fingerprints or DNA belonging to my client were found

either at the crime scene nor on the firearms.

The prosecution has made accusations against my client

The prosecution has made accusations against my client

without any evidence or witnesses

which amounts to pure defamation.

I must remind the jury tihat

even if you have doubts about my client's presence at the scene

the benefit of doubt belongs to the defendant.

I earnestly request that you pronounce my client not guilty

because it is the only reasonable verdict.

Your Honor

I request a reopening of the prosecution's case

and the summoning of new witnesses.

On what basis?

You should know the law.

Due to the prosecution's failure to prove the charges

against the defendant without reasonable doubt

and considering the jury's unanimous decision

I hereby pronounce the defendant Cheung Man-bing

not guilty of the charges of possessing firearms

assaulting a police officer

and resisting arrest.

He is to be released immediately.

Law enforcement

is just the beginning of the legal process.

When there are small cracks

will pass us by.

Get off.

What are you looking at?

Let's go!

Officer Fok!

All the best!

It'll only be a change of scene.

Stay strong and keep true!

Nothing Can Dim The Light Which Shines From Within

Criminal Procedure In Hong Kong

Criminal Law

7 Years Later

DOJ: The department in charge of all prosecutorial work against crimes in HKSAR

The female defendant stabbed the victim more than twenty times

with each stab so deep it hit bone.

What do you think should be done?

After committing the murder

She even stated that she had long'wanted to kill the victim.

The evidence is conclusive

However

that the crime scene was the victim's home

the fruit knife the female defendant used

was picked up randomly from inside the house.

The'crime obviously wasn't premeditated.

Charging her with murder may not be appropriate.

There were no fingerprints inside the house.

She was consciously cleaning up the scene

and then just stood there

waiting for the police to arrest her.

Don't you find that strange?

Mr. Fok

you used to be in the police force

and now you've joined the Department of Justice.

You must have some valuable insights to share.

It's just a change in work environment.

Then

I have a different perspective.

Most of the fatal wounds on the victim were concentrated on the left side

like this

but the suspect is left-handed.

If she were to stab with her left hand

in a reverse grip

it is possible but somewhat awkward.

it is possible but somewhat awkward.

Let's not forget that

the victim was a man weighing over 200 pounds

even Strenger than Benny here.

Benny

could you help demonstrate?

Maggie

Yes. Hello.

First

Maggie

Here I come!

Come on. Stronger! I'm trying!

Okay.

Thank you.

So we can see from this

it is difficult for a slender lady

who only weighs ninety pounds or so

to overpower a map weighing over two hundred pounds

one who exercises regularly

and commit this kind of crime.

In other words

there might be another suspect involved..

That's my perspective.

It seems we have different opinions.

How about we place a bet to settle it?

Each person puts in five hundred dollars.

Sure.

Let's not gamble with money. Let's use beer instead!

If I lose

Deal!

If you win

Okay.

Mr. Fok.

Yes?

My name is Bao Ding.

Hello.

I'm the Pupil Master here.

I take care of all the newcomers.

Nice to meet you. I'll assist you with your first cases.

If you need anything

The police are responsible for arresting suspects

and we

and convicting the arrested suspects.

This is your first case.

Earlier this year

that someone was importing one kilogram of cocaine

from Brazil in the form of a mailed package.

So the police conducted a surveillance operation

and traced it back to the home of the first defendant

They arrested him when he received the package.

I'm coming!

Are you Ma Ka-kit?

Yes

Sign here.

From Brazil To Ma Ka-kit

Police!

This is my warrant card.

We suspect that there are drugs hidden in your package.

Freeze!

Kit!

Stop right there!

I've got nothing to do with this.

I have no idea.

I really don't know anything

Kit!

Sir

This parcel isn't mine.

I only lent someone my address.

From the moment Ma Ka-kit was arrested until he got to the police station

he insisted that he only lent his address

to the second defendant in the case

and the police actually found drugs at Chan Kwok-wing's residence.

I want a lawyer!

It's a clear case of possession of illegal goods.

There's nothing to argue about.

However

Ma Ka-kit changed his testimony

and claimed that he didn't lend his address to Chan Kwok-wing.

What do you think about that?

Ma Ka-kit has no criminal record

but his testimony contradicts itself

Chan Kwok-wing has a history of drug possession

and drugs were found at his house.

Let's charge both of them

because both of them are suspects.

It depends on what strategy the defense uses.

If you have any plans

you need Prosecutor Yeung's approval.

That's the rule. Please follow it.

Understood. Thank you.

And about your offer to buy the beer if you lose

it's good to have confidence.

Mr. Bao

I like to drink beer.

It's difficult for you to avoid a conviction

since you were caught red-handed.

suggest you plead guilty

I suggest you plead guilty

because pleading guilty now can

I only received a thousand bucks

didn't know there were drugs involved!

Do I still have to go to prison?

Kit.

we all believe you didn't do it

but there's no evidence to prove

that Chan Kwok-wing used your address.

If we lose the trial

we will appeal.

If we win

Each appeal requires scheduling

which means you will wait endlessly in prison.

Counsel Lee's advice is the best

and the fastest way to get you out.

So after Kit pleads guilty

can we proceed to the trial immediately

without him going to prison?

Actually

and Chan Kwok-wing's lawyer will also take action.

You're Chan Kwok-wing

Now that the police have found drugs in your house

and Ma Ka-kit has implicated you

saying that you used his address to receive the package

the DOJ will charge you with possession of and conspiracy to traffic drugs.

How should I work with you?

The first thing we need to do

is clarify to the police that

Kit has changed his previous plea of not guilty

to a guilty plea.

The police will then hand over the documents to the DOJ.

Confession Report Ma Ka-kit

After the Department of Justice reviews it

and the court will schedule the trial as soon as possible.

Kit should plead guilty in court and seek leniency.

Due to the large number of cases the court has to handle

the later you decide to plead guilty

But if Kit pleads guilty earlier

we can immediately schedule the case in the High Court

for Kit to appear and seek leniency.

Confession Report Ma Ka-kit

- Don't say I didn't warn you.

When you were a cop you worshipped the God of War.

Now that-you're in the DOJ

Remember that.

Hello

Hello

I am Ma Ka-kit's representative lawyer

Is it possible to discuss a plea agreement?

What are the conditions?

My client will admit to drug trafficking

and the only condition is for the prosecution to withdraw

the charge of conspiracy to traffic drugs against Chan Kwok-wing.

You are the representative lawyer for the first defendant

and now you want to withdraw the charge

against the second defendant.

Isn't that unreasonable?

Ma Ka-kit changed

his testimony because of his guilt

stating that it has nothing to do with Chan Kwok-wing.

He doesn't want to hurt a good person.

Chan Kwok-wing

while the first defendant has a clear record

If I let the first defendant go

Conspiracy will result in a more severe punishment.

So excluding any conspiracy with the second defendant

is completely in line with my client's interests.

Sorry

Shirley.

Prosecutor Yeung.

Goo

Morning.

Plea bargaining is a good thing.

The defendant recognizes their mistake

and pleads guilty

I agree.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hello

Mr. Yeung

Fok Chi-ho.

Hi

Welcome. I'm here to learn from you.

We will go through the court procedures later

and then this case can be concluded.

Thank you.

Prosecutor Yeung

why not charge the second defendant?

What about the prosecution code?

In the testimony of the first defendant

that the second defendant had nothing to do with this case.

So

How is it a waste of time?

Ourjob is prosecution

to have a trial

to find the truth

and to convict.

The Department of Justice's principle

has always been

to charge if there's evidence

Firstly

we can charge the second defendant

with drug possession

which means both individuals who have committed a crime

will go to prison.

What more do you want?

Your case involves drug trafficking through mai

so strictly speaking

whether or not others were involved in drug trafficking

is irrelevant to you.

You're the prosecutor. You should understand that right?

It's almost ten o'clock.

Okay. Court.

Both defendants plead guilty

Isn't that fair? What else do you want?

Case number ESCC235/2023

the first defendant Ma Ka-kit

and the second defendant Chan Kwok-wing

are suspected of conspiracy to traffic drugs.

Your Honor

the defense has reached an agreement with the prosecution.

My client

will admit to the charge of drug trafficking.

Does the prosecution agree?

Your Honor

the DOJ will amend the charge against the first defendant

Ma Ka-kit to drug trafficking

and withdraw the conspiracy to traffic charge against

the second defendant Chan Kwok-wing

but we will retain the charge of drug possession against him.

Ma Ka-kit

you are accused of having one kilogram of cocaine

mailed from overseas to your residence.

You were arrested there by the police while receiving the package.

Now the charge against you is drug trafficking.

How do you plead?

I plead guilty.

Can I receive a reduced sentence?

The sentencing will take place at the next hearing.

This bench will now pronounce the verdict.

The charge of conspiracy to traffic drugs against the second defendant

Chan Kwok-wing

The drug possession case will be scheduled for trial.

The first defendant

who admite to drug trafficking

will be referred to the High Court for leniency sentencing.

The defendant will remain in custody.

Court adjourned.

Court!

I want to finish work early

just like prisoners want to be released early.

Do you have any questions?

No problem.

You are in charge of Ma Ka-kit's case.

You've interviewed him.

What do you think?

Initially

but after being brought to the police station

He kept saying it had nothing to do with him

and that he only lent his address.

Why would a criminal admit to being guilty?

I heard he had a difficult background.

How so?

It hurts! That's not how you do it!

You wasted everything

Why can't you learn to do anything right?

You're so useless!

I can't teach you anything!

When he was young

and his mother was a drug addict.

She would beat him so badly he was hospitalised.

But what is even more remarkable is that

his grandfather beat up the mother

and took custody of him

so he didn't have to go to an orphanage.

His mother deserved to be beaten.

Even you say she deserved to be beaten!

There's the bastard!

There's the bastard!

Hey!

Hey!

You bastard

Don't move! Stop!

I'm a cop!

Are you pretending not to understand?

Come and help!

My bro!

Are you causing trouble here?

You're under arrest for suspicion of drug trafficking!

Stop resisting!

Grab your weapons!

You bastard!

Making trouble?

Police!

Assaulting a police officer!

Get him! Kill him!

What are you looking for?

Hey!

Get over here and help!

Police! You are surrounded!

Drop all your weapons now!

Hold still!

Don't move!

Get down here!

Get down here immediately!

Is it serious?

I'll treat it as a mark of honor!

I've been after this gang of drug traffickers for a long time.

Thank you!

Tough job.

Nothing special! I'll go and take care of business.

Come. Get up.

Hey!

Remember

Drug trafficker.

You'll be pissing here for life.

Get lost!

Watch where you're going

I know you're not used to prison life.

Even if you can't sleep

Otherwise

I can care of .myself.

How about you?

It's been so hot lately.

Will you use the fan?

Don't think about saving on the electricity bill all the time.

What do you say?

You don't have to worry about me.

When did I start worrying about you?

I'm just asking a few questions.

If you want to go back to Shanghai

Go and see him.

I could go any time.

We'll go together when you are released

Don't bother waiting for me.

If you behave well your sentence will be reduced.

You'll be released soon.

Not for several years.

What?

Didn’t that lawyer Lee say

admitting your guilt can lead to a reduced sentence?

You're a first-time offender! There's someone in my cell.

He got sentenced to 8 years for 200 grams of drugs.

As for me

I had one kilogram.

Is it calculated the same way?

When I get out

will you still be around?

I talked to a legal aid lawyer

and he said Kit's case can be fought.

He's preparing to help us overturn the guilty plea.

As long as you admit it was misleading

Kit will be fine. We didn't mislead anyone.

You know all the facts

and there's even a signed confession from Ma Ka-kit.

You bastards!

You knew that Kit didn't do anything

It was you who advised him to plead guilty!

The guilty plea did result in a reduced sentence.

With good behavior credits

he'll be out in around ten years.

I won't live to see ten years!

Hey! What are you doing?

Call the pojice!

There's no need for that.

You should go.

Let's go

There was a teenager

wrongly accused of murder.

There were

doubts about his case.

The boss said he must be prosecuted.

The officers at the police station said they wouldn't investigate further.

What did you do?

Those British guys wouldn't do it

so I went to find evidence on my own.

In the end

was released without charge

You already know about it?

You've talked about this case

many times.

It happened over forty years ago.

You solved the case

Your boss

even gave you this medal.

I thought this case happened just five days ago.

Anyway

law enforcers must stay true to their mission.

Even if one day you can't walk like me

you won't have any regrets.

Maybe you just need to stop and rest.

after talking for so long!

Do you still remember who I am?

I'm hungry.

Take me back to the nursing home.

Okay.

Why are you so slow?

Back in the day

your dad

saw some thieves robbing a jewelry store

I chased it all the way from Mong Kok to Tsim Sha Tsui

until I caught them!

Can you speed up?

you handle it?

Of course I can.

Then hold on tight!

Let's go!

Are you okay? Is this-fast enough?

After jewelry store robbery

Your Honor

the first defendant

has no understanding of the law.

He only pleaded guilty under the influence of his former lawyer's misguidance.

This situation is extremely unfair.

Therefore

Does the prosecution have any remarks?

I have no remarks

How could you offer no remarks when they asked for a reverse plea?

Are you intentionally making way?

We won the case. You intentionally put us at a disadvantage.

Mr. Fok

Actually

has always wanted a reduced sentence.

So

Why do the reverse plea then?

Are you gambling with ten years?

What if he's being misled?

All we're doing is giving him another chance.

The Department of Justice is responsible for prosecution

and their main duty is to convict the accused.

Mr. Fok

What are you trying to do?

You want to prove his innocence?

That's not how I see it

I believe that as prosecutors

we should convict the guilty

and establish the innocence of the innocent.

After Ma Ka-kit admitted his guilt

it's clear that

one of them is lying

or maybe both are lying.

Playing along with him is a waste of manpower

and the most precious thing: time

Okay

I want you to summon Lee Sze-man and Au Pak-man

to testify in court regarding Ma Ka-kit's lack of honesty.

Okay.

And regarding this case

I want to assign you as the lead prosecutor.

Please demonstrate to Mr. Fok

how prosecutors handle cases.

Excuse me.

Lunch time.

That's how it is.

Court!

Since this case involves an on-site arrest

the prosecution has decided to continue prosecuting the first and second defendants.

The prosecution will first summon Inspector Lee King-wai

who was responsible for the arrest operation

When we went to arrest Ma Ka-kit that day

he attempted to escape.

My client saw unfamiliar individuals without uniforms

holding questionable identification

so he got scared and ran.

Are false documents a reasonable excuse?

Did the entire team of officers deceive him with false documents?

Unbelievable!

No

I just want to point out that my client was terrified at that time.

I have no other questions

I

declare and confirm

that all the testimony I give will be the truth

that all the testimony I give will be the truth

the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Miss Lee Sze-man

why did Ma Ka-kit plead guilty?

Was he aware of the crime he was confessing to?

Ma Ka-kit wanted a reduced sentence

All the documents have his personal signature

so he was fully aware of the crime he confessed to.

Ms. Lee

do you admit that you misled my client into pleading guilty?

My client committed a crime and wanted a reduced sentence.

I would advise you to plead guilty

because pleading guilty now can reduce your sentence by one-third.

Mr. Lee's advice is the best

and quickest way to secure your release.

I was certainly helping him in a lawful manner.

It was you

we will definitely lose!

She is lying in court right now!

Why isn't she being arrested?

Is there no rule of law?

Uncle

Otherwise

As a judge

You don't ensure fairness

Please ask this gentleman to leave the court and calm down.

She's lying

Is there no rule of law?

Why isn't she being arrested?

Defense counsel for the second defendant

you may begin your cross-examination.

Thank you

Ms. Lee

When the first defendant pleaded guilty initially

did he clearly and explicitly state

that he did not lend his address to my client?

As for the second defendant

the testimony clearly states

that he did not lend his address to anyone.

In other words

this case concerns the criminal acts of the first defendant

so my client has been innocent from start to finish.

Do you agree?

You can say that.

Mr. Au Pak-man

as a former assistant to the defense lawyer

you have been involved in this case.

Can you describe

the relationship between the first defendant and your team?

We had all conversations based on mutual trust

so the relationship can be described as good.

Your Honor

I do.

Prosecutor

do you want to conduct a second cross-examination?

Yes

Mr. Au Pak-man

the first defendant

said that you

and Lawyer Lee Sze-man misled him.

Why did he say that?

Perhaps due to his lack of education

he is easily influenced

and has a naive personality.

He tends to believe what people tell him.

Is it because of his naive nature that

he is easily influenced

and so you persuaded him to plead guilty?

Prosecutor

do you know what you are doing?

You're shooting yourself in the foot!

This is not a playground!

Your Honor

I must first understand the character of the first defendant

In order to assess the credibility

of the testimony he provided.

Then please pay attention to the logic of your questioning

all right?

Very well

Mr. Au

are you providing free defense for the first defendant?

Yes.

Our law firm has been handling pro bono cases.

Pro bono cases refer to cases where you provide free defense for individuals.

That's the usual understanding.

Would you first establish

whether the person you are helping for free

is guilty or not guilty?

I disagree with what you just said.

Even if Ma Ka-kit is truly guilty

I would still advocate for leniency for him.

So you told him to plead guilty.

In my opinion

Even if Ma Ka-kit is guilty

he should be given a chance.

So

I would hope for a lenient sentence.

Objection!

I object to the witness implying guilt on my client's behalf.

What are you objecting to?

He is advocating for leniency for your client.

Objection overruled.

Your Honor

Mr. Au

Did you advise the first defendant

to take responsibility for a crime he didn't commit?

I don't know how to answer

such a leading question.

The witness doesn't need to answer.

Prosecutor

What are you doing?

With all due respect

I respectfully request you to consider this.

The jury should consider it. Everyone should consider it.

If the first defendant can receive a reduced sentence by pleading guilty

and he has already pleaded guilty

Why would he overturn his own testimony

and his guilty plea?

There is no logic!

So I have reason

to question the evidence provided by the two witnesses.

Prosecutor

are you trying to turn your witnesses into hostile witnesses?

Your Honor

I just want fairness

and to find the truth.

I have no more questions.

Mr. Au

when the first defendant Ma Ka-kit

initially pleaded guilty

did he submit three letters requesting leniency?

Yes.

We submitted those documents to the court

hoping they would be considered towards a reduced sentence.

The court has archived all three letters

andeveryone can review them carefully.

The first letter

was written by an executive director of a listed company.

Mr. Au

and under what circumstances the first defendant

would know

or have the opportunity to know

an executive director of a listed company?

As his legal team

even if we have doubts

Understood.

The second letter was written by a social worker

stating that Ma Ka-kit had often participated in volunteer activities.

However

the organization stated that

they never organized the activities mentioned in the letter.

What are your thoughts

think it would be inappropriate for me to comment.

Your Honor

I believe you should not allow

the defense lawyer to continue his questioning regarding these letters

as they are irrelevant to the case.

I agree

Sit down.

Mr. Ho

Thank you

The final letter

was claimed by Ma Ka-kit to be written by his former boss.

It states that he is a diligent and honest person.

The letter mentions that his employment started in December 2019

but that company had already been liquidated in 2017

so this letter was actually forged by Ma Ka-kit.

These letters of support were arranged by them

what does it have to do with me?

Your Honor

I would like to respectfully submit regarding

what the defense lawyer just said.

Until the authenticity of these three leniency letters is confirmed

the defense lawyer's hasty attack on the first defendant

is surely damaging the integrity of the first defendant?

Objection

Your Honor

I request a 15-minute recess.

I haven't done anything!

Your Honor

that if these three letters

could possibly have been forged

they cannot be used as evidence.

Prosecutor Fok

Defense is my responsibility

Mr. Cheng

you said your client was misled by someone.

Is that just a theory?

Do you have any evidence?

I don't have evidence to prove that he was misled

but there is also no evidence to prove that he wasn't misled.

Mr. Cheng. My learned friend.

My learned friend.

Could you please be more professional?

You should help your client find evidence.

If you can't find evidence

You are useless.

You are talking nonsense.

How do you even practice as a defence lawyer?

Mr. Bao

this prosecutor of yours

is constantly asking questions beneficial to the defendant.

This is completely illogical!

And he's openly insulting

the opposing lawyer in court

Totally ridiculous!

If you can't control your people

I will sue you for contempt of court.

Your Honor

Mr. Fok is not being contemptuous.

He just wants to employ a creative questioning approach.

Your Honor

I hope you can carefully examine

whether Ma Ka-kit was truly misled or not.

Mr Fok

when I was in your position

you were still wearing diapers.

I remind you that

you are in no position to teach me how to see clearly.

On the contrary

As the prosecutor

defending the defendant is not your responsibility!

So come back

Your Honor

but I would like to kindly remind you

that our duty in criminal prosecution

is not solely to ensure the defendant's conviction

but to present credible evidence

of the crimes we are prosecuting to the jury.

Are you teaching me how to do my job again?

Should I take off my robe and give it to you to wear?

Or give you a judge's wig to put on?

Your Honor

have already influenced the jury's perception of the first defendant.

So I request that you immediately dismiss the jury

and order a retrial.

Court is adjourned.

Court!

I'm lost for words.

Have some coffee.

Thanks.

You need to assess the situation.

It's like a police baton.

Only extend when necessary

and retract when unnecessary.

If you keep it extended all the time

At 3:30

Won't you stay to see the verdict?

It doesn't matter if I watch it.

We need to remember that there must be a majority consensus

for a ruling to be valid.

It can be 7-0

If it's 4-3

Mr. Fok

the courtroom is truly a strange place.

A bunch of people who understand the law are fighting here.

It's left to seven people who don't understand the law to determine life and death.

But you did well just now.

Don't worry too much about the outcome.

We all have one goal

Mr. Au

Chief Juror

has a verdict been reached?

Yes.

Is the verdict unanimous?

No.

Was it a significant majority?

Yes.

What was the vote result?

5-2.

Is the first defendant guilty or not guilty?

Guilty.

Is the second defendant guilty or not guilty?

Not guilty.

It was you who misled that young man

You pushed Ma Ka-kit into hell

I will now pronounce the sentence.

The first defendant

is guilty of drug trafficking.

Due to his lack of remorse

and the waste of court resources

he must be severely punished.

He is sentenced to

27 years in prison.

The second defendant

Court is adjourned.

Court!

Kit

you have to stay strong

Kit!

Kit! You...

Grandpa...

Don't you worry!

Grandpa won't let you sit in prison for 27 years.

I wouldn't be alive to see you released!

Don't worry!

I'll find a way!

Sorry.

Believe me

The court sentenced me to 27 years.

How are you going to help me?

Mr. Au

Morning.

Madam Cheung.

Debbie.

Hello

Let me introduce

Counsel Lee.

She specializes in commercial fraud cases.

She can definitely help you.

You can trust me with your lawsuit.

you're back?

Let me go first.

I've taken on an additional ciwbl case.

It's a piece of cake for you.

Last time you mentioned wanting a 10-carat diamond.

I found a good one for you in Belgium. Flawless.

Why do clients come to us?

Because they feel helpless.

Just like sick people going to see a doctor

or guilty ones going to church for confession

or going to a witch to curse someone.

It's all the same.

But you're different

because you understand the law.

You're their savior.

It's all thanks to your selfless efforts

and working through many late nights tirelessly

that the Department of Justice can uphold the rule of law for society.

But there are still many crises and challenges.

I hope everyone stays committed to their roles

and continues to uphold justice for the citizens.

thank you for taking care of our colleagues.

You're welcome

Fok Chi-ho.

Hello

Welcome to the Department of Justice family.

When you were in the police force

you were famous for catching criminals

and working diligently.

We believe that

with your experience as a police officer

you can provide us with a different perspective.

Now Mr.Yeung

If you have any questions

he can definitely give you appropriate guidance.

You should work together closely.

Absolutely! I hope so.

I will do my best to assist Mr. Fok.

He's very smart. Rest assured

Director.

I know.

Prosecutor Fok has some doubts about this first case

but as the prosecution

even if we see issues

only the defense can file an appeal.

At this stage

I understand

However

if the defendant... just hypothetically

requests an appeal

I would really hope that you

personally pay attention to this case.

Mr. Fok

are so eager for the defendant to appeal?

The court has already made a clear judgment

so I want to know what the issue is

or are you just intent on seeing the DOJ lose a lawsuit?

These kinds of discussions

should be part of your daily work.

You may continue them another time

but today

Hello

Hi

Selina.

Long time

Do you remember? Next month

our alumni golf tournament. You're on my team!

Come early so we can take some photos.

Alright.

Everyone

We have a full house today.

Yes.

Please have a seat.

Grand Judge.

Please

Mr. Yeung!

Grand Judge. Mr. Bao.

Grand Judge.

Please sit!

Director

He doesn't know the rules.

Everyone present here can call me 'Grand Judge'.

except for you.

Right

Before 1997

all the judges in the higher courts were called

'Grand Judge.'

That's why they called me 'Grand Judge'.

After 1997

without the 'Grand'.

So

any friends I knew before 1997

can still call me 'Grand Judge1

But as for you

it's not very suitable

Thank you for going easy on him.

I should thank you.

Marco

Mr. Fok

frankly

as a judge

there's no fourth.

It's eyewitness testimony

and the jury's decision.

Honestly

sometimes

I know the defendant is guilty

but if there's no evidence

On the other hand

sometimes I know they're innocent

but if there seems to be evidence

This is a historical legacy

I have to follow the rules.

Even as a 'Grand Judge'

I have to abide by the rules.

There's no reason for you not to follow them.

How can you just do as you please?

But this time

It's your first time working for the Department of Justice

and you have no experience.

I'll forgiive you this time.

No need to talk shop. Let's drink!

Come on. This bottle of wine is extraordinary.

It received a score of 100 from Parker!

It's a 1992 Chateau Leblanc.

Let's all try it!

I bought it at an auction in France.

In 1982

While she was making the wine

crying the whole time. Her tears fell into the grape juice.

So now

there's a taste of her sorrow.

Let's all drink and see if there's a hint of sadness.

Mr. Fok

can you taste the sadness?

A botile of wine that costs tens of thousands

even a glass costs thousands...

Yes.

It's the monthly income of a poor family in Hong Kong.

Indeed

I like your sense of humor.

You're a smart guy!

Uncle Ma.

You played a part in getting my grandson imprisoned!

Why are you looking for me?

I understand how you feel.

Can you give me a few minutes?

I want to say something.

There have been many loopholes in this case.

On behalf of the Department of Justice

I apologize to you.

Additionally

as a citizen

and file an appeal.

No need for your reminder.

I have already applied for it.

That lawyer Cheng told me.

He also told me not to talk to anyone during this time.

Yes. Don't mess with me!

I hope you believe me.

Our society has the rule... Pretending to be good guys.

I don't believe any of your nonsense!

I don't believe you

You're all pretending to be the good guys!

Help!

Help me!

We have finished recording Uncle Ma's statement.

He just applied for an appeal

It's likely related to those two lawyers.

We recently seized several vehicles transporting drugs

and your case is also related to drug trafficking.

You should take care.

Really

I can go back home by myself.

No problem. It's on my way.

There's so much junk here. Be careful.

This is my humble abode. Excuse the mess!

Please sit!

I'll open the window to let some fresh air in.

Let me get you something to drink.

Damn!

Ran away again!

Please have some tea.

Thanks.

Whenever it's pouring outside

it leaks in here.

Like the old Chinese saying

It'll be alright as long as I don't starve to death.

Did your grandson paint these pictures?

Yes. It's Kit who painted them.

He loves painting tall buildings and

always says he wants me to live in a better place.

Once he turns 18

he'll apply for public housing.

Hopefully in another twp

Uncle Ma

how do you know Lee Sze-man?

Through the boss of the restaurant where Kit works.

I think his last name is 'Lau'.

He saw how hardworking Kit was

and introduced him to a lawyer.

Then he introduced us to that bitch

who offered to help for free.

We're too poor. We didn't have a choice.

Just talking to a lawyer costs a few thousand bucks.

How could I afford it?

What use are legal aid or the DOJ to folk like us?

They're all government personnel.

Seems like they can't help us either.

After all this chaos

Make yourself at home.

Let's eat whatever we have.

I didn't even realize I was hungry until you mentioned it!

Mr. Fok

Come.

Let's have a drink during Happy Hour.

We found new clues in the Ma Ka-kit case.

You know there's no allowance for working overtime?

Ma Ka-kit's previous boss

provides a new lead in this case.

We need to find out about his relationship with Lee Sze-man and Au Pak-man.

That's the only way we can help Ma Ka-kit.

According to our intelligence reports

Lau Siu-keung has opened many restaurants

wine bars and nightclubs in recent years.

He appears to be a legitimate businessman

but in reality

All his businesses are managed by Au Pak-man's law firm.

That Lee Sze-man is really something

She grew up in an orphanage

and later Au Pak-Man paid for her education in the United States

where she also obtained a law license.

I'd fall head over heels for him too if I were her.

I checked the records of the Department of Justice.

Au Pak-man got his early release

because Lee Sze-man helped him win the appeal.

What are you trying to say

Isn't it obvious enough?

They're a couple of crooks!

This Au Pak-man is impressive.

He's been in prison several times

for assault

He's committed so many crimes

and yet he can still talk to people about the law.

It's crazy.

I can handle it.

Dealing with the semen evidence is relatively easy.

because he wasn't caught in the act.

Au Pak Man. Yes.

Get lost! You get out!

Money laundering

Whether it's one billion or ten billion

In any case

The prison authorities say

he diligently studied law in prison.

After being released

but every time

He also got to know many influential figures in prison

Including one that you personally arrested.

Sang

FIJI

Cash out.

Go

Ah Keung! It's true what the astrologers say about having a bad year.

Several of our food trucks got busted

Now we're also out of the stuff we put in coconuts.

So

Hold off on making deliveries for now.

No deliveries?

The boss will definitely throw a fit.

Throw a fit?

Let him throw a fit

If we get stopped and searched by the police

I'm as good as dead.

That incident with Uncle Ma. It was done by one of them

You're really something.

You're right. Nothing escapes you.

It could be either Tung or Sang.

Who else can it be?

That's why I always say

fools will be fools.

They dont use their brains when they act.

Keung

you're a smart guy

you're a civilised person.

So

don't be as foolish as they are.

Okay?

Understood

Sang

Sang!

Your underlings

stole the shipment of coconuts from me

causing me to lose 50 million.

When are you going to compensate me?

You can only accuse him of stealing if he's taken it for himself.

It was the police that confiscated everything.

I want to give you the goods as compensation.

Man can't make any deliveries.

Listen to what he has to say.

Personally

if we make deliveries now

You won't necessarily lose 50 million.

I'll personally make it up to you.

As for Tung

I'll give you a 30% discount on the next three shipments.

Everyone will be happy.

Such a wonderful deal.

You think money solves everything?

Sang

I know what you want.

Tung! You're not going to do this

I've followed you since I was a kid!

You're really going to do this to me?

Let go of me! Don't do this.

This time

I know what to do.

Man!

Lend me a hand.

What's the matter?

Do what the boss asked you to

Hit him!

I told you to hit him!

Come on!

Sang!

I didn't know the cocaine in those coconuts belonged to you

Give me another chance!

Tung! I know where I messed up!

Please ask Sang to give me another chance!

Boss Tung!

Don't do this!

Wow! Did you need to be so brutal?

Are you satisfied?

Well

Take him to a doctor.

Remember to make the delivery for us tomorrow.

Gentlemen

I really want to make the delivery

but my case hasn't been resolved yet.

I'm being watched closely.

I'll take care of your case.

Remember to continue making the deliveries

yogi hear me?

Let's go.

I'll take my leave

You bastard.

You're so brutal even with your own underlings.

He's got to do what he's got to do!

You won't scare him into delivering the goods properly

if you don't show them something.

Hello

I can't hear you!

It's so noisy there. Speak louder!

You piece of shit!

This is my place

You dare to disrespect me?

Without me

Get the fuck out!

Now get going!

You bastard! Are you pretending to be a big shot?

I'm not your big brother

My last name is Chan.

Your dad is not my dad.

Isn't your mom my mom?

So what if she is?

Get lost!

I'll leave when I'm finished.

Bitch!

Stop! Someone is filming us.

I've seen him in court.

Sorry.

What were you filming?

Give me your phone.

Hey! Beating someone up?

Getting into a gang fight?

I've already called the police.

Why were you so slow getting here?

Let's go.

I've got what we need. Let's leave quickly.

Are you OK?

Let's find Ah Wai.

He's on his way.

You called the police?

We'll beat up even the police.

Have you ever fought before?

Never! I was a model student.

Hello?

Ah Wai?

Why aren't you here yet?

Your friend

is beating up a hundred people!

No!

I mean he's being beaten up by a hundred people!

Don't hit me!

Mr. Fok?

Mr. Fok! It's me.

It's me!

You're lucky to be alive!

I'll take you to dinner.

That Lau Siu-keung

turns out he is Chan Kwok-Wing's half-brother.

I recorded everything.

This place belongs to Lau Siu-keung.

The guys in suits who attacked you earlier

are the security guards here.

Every one of them insisted on hiring a lawyer

and specifically asked for Au Pak-man's law firm.

Justice will prevail. Heaven is on our side.

The two brothers are obstructing justice.

The case of Ma Ka Kit can move forward now.

Mr. Yeung.

Hey

I need to talk to you about something.

I'm rushing to the High Court.

What's the matter? It's urgent. I need to tell you now.

How do you know Lee Sze-man?

How do you know Lee Sze-man?

Through the boss of the restaurant where Kit works.

I think his last name is 'Lau'.

Uncle Ma said

that Lau Siu-keung introduced Au Pak-man to him

and this Lau Siu-keung and Chan Kwok-wing

it turns out they're half-brothers.

They've been colluding for a long time

Bao

Go join their investigation team.

Go join their investigation team.

Uncle Ma is going to file an official report now and give a statement.

You should go and take a look. There's new evidence.

Now the Legal Aid Department

is citing 'Judge's Misguidance of the Jury'.

They're sending it back for retrial.

It will begin in 28 days.

I really don't understand.

Why do they keep trying

such a minor case?

I don't want people to think that

the DOJ is unprofessional.

After the police finish recording the statements

they will submit them to the DOJ.

The DOJ will then consider whether to accept them or not.

Of course

but I don't want our own people to suspect each other.

What do you want to say? Spit it out!

The DOJ has prosecuted Au Pak-man three times

and all three times

The same prosecutor handled all three cases.

Yeung Ti-lap

You were the lead prosecutor in all three cases.

How long have you known me

36 years.

Do you know that I handle over a thousand cases every year?

Three cases.

What are you trying to tell me about these three cases?

Mr Yeung. Are you trying to come after me?

Just this afternoon

waiting for me to handle.

If you have evidence to support your accusation

then please report me immediately.

Otherwise don't waste my time with this nonsense!

I want to hire a lawyer.

No matter how many retrials there are in this case

the result will be the same. We won't lose.

I don't care about winning or losing.

I care about giving the public confidence.

Knowing that we have the ability to uphold the rule of law.

Legal Aid has arranged for you to give a statement at the police station.

As long as you reveal Lau Siu-keung

introduced the lawyer to you

they will be obstructing justice

they will be obstructing justice

and there will be hope for Kit.

It seems Kit really has a chance

Thank you

Don't mention it. It's my duty.

But you will have to testify in court.

Hang in there.

I'm hanging in there!

I hope that after Kit comes out

he can be sensible and go back to studying.

In the future

You're too kind.

I see that your grandson

has great artistic talent.

I know. He paints very well.

Paintings nowadays sell for very high prices.

Actually

it doesn't matter what field he studies.

The most important thing is to find a nice girlfriend.

If I can see him get married and have children

then I'll be satisfied.

I'm looking forward to that wedding banquet!

I'll reserve a seat for you!

I'm going to the restroom.

On the wedding day

It doesn't matter. Just so long as I get to eat!

Prosecutor Fok

You're from the Department of Justice.

Can you talk to the judge

and let me out for just one day? Just one day.

After that

I want revenge!

I don't understand.

I really...

I really don't understand why none of you are willing to help me?

I really didn't do anything!

I rented out my address

just to make a few bucks to help my grandfather with household expenses.

I simply wished that we could have better meals

eat together at a nice table

and have a house that doesn't leak. It's as simple as that.

Did I really do something wrong?

A relative of Ma Ka-kit was recently found dead with multiple stab wounds.

Could someone be trying to silence them?

Did the Department of Justice accuse the wrong person?

Everyone is paying close attention to this case.

I want to ask

This case has entered the judicial process.

I'm not in a position to make any comments. Sorry.

If the appeal is successful

The Department of Justice's reputation is irrelevant.

The work of the Department of Justice is based on evidence.

We present the evidence to the court.

The court makes the final decision.

We've checked this matter many times.

No leads.

No witnesses

Have the surveillance cameras

in the shops across the street been checked?

Have you searched for the cars

and pedestrians that passed by?

If you can't find anything it means you're just not good enough!

My colleagues and I haven't stopped working for 48 hours!

It's not that we don't want to find anything.

No evidence

I can't think of another way.

If there's no way

I have confidence in you

but you need to have confidence in yourself.

Do you remember what we used to say?

Stay strong and keep true?

Stay strong and keep true?

Everyone here is staying strong and keeping true!

But we can't eliminate crimes!

Even we police are helpless sometimes.

No matter what

Now I understand

why you gave up back then.

Mr. Fok.

Hi

Is this your son?

Yes.

His name is Luk Luk. Hello.

Hello

Hello

Thank you.

Are you still in the Rapid Action Unit?

Yes.

I just finished my board interview.

There's a chance for a promotion to Inspector.

That's great! Keep it up.

Stay strong and keep true!

Office Fok

during that operation seven years ago

I was already three months pregnant with him.

If it weren't for you saving me

he wouldn't be sitting here.

Thank you.

I never gave up.

I just got old.

I can't charge ahead all the time.

Being in the front line

really depends on all of you.

That's why

I transferred to the Department of Justice.

I want to guard the final door.

As long as you have faith

you can do it!

Stay true to your goals.

It would be great if everyone had your enthusiasm!

You have it.

Copy that.

Alright. Let's keep going!

Don't stop

Never give up!

Copy!

Keep going!

Bao Ding.

There is no overtime pay.

Just leave if you have no loyalty.

Hey

there are still over a dozen cases.

We can't finish them all in two weeks!

You should have stayed being a police officer.

If I hadn't met you

Coming to the Department of Justice for no reason

I don't even know why you're here!

Do you want to know why?

Tell me

Because I think our work

is like an eternal brilliant light.

It shines the glory of fairness and justice

It shines the glory of fairness and justice

into the hearts of the people

into every dark coY-ner.

I'm getting old. I can't catch thieves anymore.

My knees aren't working as well.

I'm still young. I can handle it.

You were right.

There really was a third person at the scene of that case.

It was a conspiracy to commit murder.

I'm willing to admit defeat.

I'm the most skilled at reviewing documents.

We'll all help you.

Enough said. Let's do this together.

Look at all this. Of course we'll help.

Look at all this. Of course we'll help.

I'll take care of this box.

I'll be responsible for this box.

That bright light!

I've extinguished it!

The criminal organization has a pattern.

There are more victims like Ma Ka-kit.

There are many Ma Ka-kits out there.

Before the trial

who is willing to testify.

But gangs mailing drugs into Hong Kong

happens at least 300 times a year

totaling over 1

We only have a few days. I know it's difficult

but I know it won't get the better of you!

There's a young man who's just like you.

Your testimony can help him.

I've already served my full sentence

what do you want from me?

Just go!

My son just got out of the juvenile detention center!

I will call the police if you come again!

I don't mind going to the police station and giving a statement.

I'd rather not go to court

I'm afraid to let other people know I've been to prison.

I understand

He also received a package and was accused of drug trafficking.

Stop bothering me already!

Did this person introduce a lawyer to you?

This person has harmed many people

using the same method.

Please help.

A young man who received a package and was accused of drug trafficking.

If you testify in court

Hey!

Bingo!

Someone has agreed to appear in court!

That's great!

Thank you.

Thank you

Well done!

Great work

Hello

You're taking leave today and not going back to the DOJ?

What's going on? Is everything alright?

Thank you.

How are things now?

How did this case

go so wrong?

Someone has been killed

How long can you continue with this?

Uncle Ma has been killed.

Are you completely blind to everything?

Uncle Ma's death is a police case

a criminal case.

We are the Department of Justice.

Have you ever thought about going back to being a police officer?

Then you can investigate murder cases and catch criminals.

You can even become a defense lawyer.

You enjoy being a defense lawyer so much

you're wasting your talents at the Department of Justice.

Do you know what the Department of Justice is for?

Let me tell you.

The Department of Justice is the final gate of the rule of law.

Now

has been murdered

and Ma Ka-kit is going to be imprisoned for 27 years.

Even if he's guilty

You tell me.

Honestly

27 years is a bit excessive.

We are the Department of Justice.

Do you know how many pending cases we have in our department?

If every colleague handled their work the way you do

the DOJ would be paralyzed

Given your current stale of mind

you are not suitable to continue as the lead prosecutor on this case

and it's even more unsuitable for you to remain in the DOJ.

I have already submitted a letter to the Civil Service Bureau

requesting your transfer.

You will receive notice in one month

Are you serious?

Yeah.

Get out!

Thank you!

You're useless!

Stop putting on airs!

All those books you've read are useless.

What?

Dressing in a suit and acting like a gentleman

you're one of those people

who wouldn't help an old lady cross the street.

You have no friends

only thinking of yourself.

You don't even own a pet!

Go home and jerk off!

Oh

I have evidence of your collaborating with Au.

How much longer do you plan to slander me?

What are you up to now?

Taking off your jacket?

You want to fight?

I've put up with you for a long time!

Let's see if you have the guts. You talk about Au Pak-man all the time!

You get hundreds of thousands from the government every month!

I'm telling you. I'm giving you one chance.

Yeung Ti-lap? If you beat me

Let's see how strong you are! I'll let you off!

I'm tough like iron. Let's fight.

Let's go!

Fight with me? Many people like Au Pak-man in this world.

Can you arrest them all?

Come on!

I'm in.

Come on.

Let's go!

Beat me and I'll back you up!

Get ready to back me up

You wish!

Playing tricks on me with blank paper?

How else would I make you show some real fire?

I did what I had to do!

You really have a way.

Brother Tung

Count it yourself.

Nakamura

Yes

Gentlemen

Look for me when you need something else done.

What a guy!

Man's delivery accomplished! Everybody happy!

Man's delivery accomplished! Everybody happy!

But I still have something to ask Lau Siu-keung.

Hey.

Yes

Yes

The police are searching everywherefor information on you.

You will definitely involve Man.

You’ll bring trouble to us.

It's my fault.

I'll settle the matter.

Why are we talking about these things?

We're all so happy now.

Let's just drink.

I've sorted it out with Keung already.

He will turn himself in and plead guilty.

When the whole matter will be resolved cleanly.

In any case

Come on.

Let's drink!

Thank you

Gentlemen

Keung is very capable.

If there's any offense

Show me some respect. Don't blame him.

Today

is Sang's birthday.

I prepared a small birthday present for you.

Take a look! Do you like it?

Man

you're a smart guy!

Sang

Like fireworks

Times up!

Have you gone crazy?

Today is my birthday.

We agreed that I would do the shooting!

It’s only just your birthday

Wb agreed to shoot at 12:30.

You didn't do it

It's my turn this time. If you wanted to shoot

you should have done it at the stern of the ship.

You shot him here. Now look at this mess!

I need to change the furniture. It takes time to order it from Italy.

I couldn't wait!

What if he drinks all my booze?

Let's drink!

Happy Birthday.

The dead body floating in the sea has been confirmed as Lau Siu-keung.

Even with the testimony of the girl from the laundry shop

we don't have enough evidence to charge him.

Their next target will definitely be Chan Kwok-wing.

We don't know if he's in hiding or has already been killed.

We just can't find him.

The trial is about to begina

we need to find Chan Kwok-wing as soon as possible.

As long as you tell the whole truth

I will definitely help you reduce your sentence

and if your testimony can help

incriminate the whole gang of drug traffickers

I will also consider helping you apply for amnesty.

If you become our witness

The amount of the sentence reduction depends on how much you say.

My brother left evidence for me

which can prove that Au Pak-man is the culprit.

I even know where his drug den is.

Make sure I get a reduced sentence

Do you have any other options?

Prosecutor Yeung

Fok Chi-ho hasn't arrived yet.

Just do what I say later.

My leg...

I can't walk.

Sit down.

You can't walk? Take him with you and get going!

Court is in session. Get going

Go!

Look out for me

Take care.

Someone wants to kill me!

Don't let me die!

I'm Inspector Lee King-wai.

I'm at the intersection of Ki Lung Street...

They want to kill me!

I'm in danger!

Hurry and take me with you! Lef's go already!

Defendant Ma Ka-kit's appeal

in the drug trafficking conspiracy case was successful.

The case will be retried today.

Miss Cheung Yeuk-sum

a few years ago

Inside

and at that time

Is that true?

Actually

gave me a thousand bucks to use my home address.

I didn't know there were drugs in that package.

My former boss

introduced me to Au Pak-man.

They were the ones who told me to plead guilty.

Do you have any evidence?

I've already been jailed for this! Is that not evidence?

The key figures in our case

are not present in the courtroom.

So I would like to summon the next witness

Mr. Au Pak-man

and help reconstruct the sequence of events.

This case was actually easy for me to handle within the law

but you bastards insisted on killing someone

and you killed the big brother and his little brother as well.

If Chan Kwok-wing has any evidence in his hands

If you run away

Sooner or later

We will all end up dead.

Settle it in court tomorrow

Are you out of your mind?

You're forcing me to appear in court.

Are you playing with me?

Let me tell you

I will definitely take you down with me.

Think a little with what brains you have.

How much money have you made over the years thanks to me?

Without me

It's only a matter of time before I'll really eat shit.

You need to stay calm now.

Let's fix this together.

Kve made some arrangements.

Do you know

which place on this planet sees the sunrise first?

It's Fiji.

I've already bought a small island there.

I'm ready to go and enjoy life.

In Hong Kong

there are skyscrapers everywhere.

It's hard to see the sunrise anymore.

What about Chan Kwok-wing?

His testimony also indicated

that he and his brother Lau Siu-keung were both working for you.

He is primarily responsible for finding people

borrowing addresses and receiving packages

while his brother was responsible for introducing lawyers to the victims

including Miss Cheung Yeuk-sum

and Mr. Ma Ka-kit.

Do you have any explanation for these accusations?

Listen to me.

Go to court tomorrow and resolve the matter.

I'll take you with me.

Once we're there

you'll be able to see the sunrise every day.

I'll take care of things

outside of the courtroom.

First of all

I don't know what statements he gave to the police

but one thing I do know is that

he won't be able to testify in court if he can't show up

and there will be no evidence for what you're worried about.

Prosecutor Yeung

don't think I don't know what you're up to.

You're using my courtroom to try and expose the crimes of others.

What exactly do you want to achieve by doing this?

To answer your question

I want to request

that Chan Kwok-wing appear in court as a special witness for the prosecution.

He hasn't made the request.

If there's no request

This is unfair to the defense.

Your Honor

I don't oppose it at all.

Are you two playing tricks on me together?

Your Honor

I humbly request your approval for Chan Kwok-wing to testify in court.

If you're not satisfied after hearing his testimony

I'm willing to bear all the consequences and responsibilities.

When will your witness appear

Mr. Fok!

Prosecutor Fok

Sang and I spent ten years in jail

in Cambodia because of you.

You've arrested so many people.

Don't you recognize me?

That stubborn old man

I cut him over a dozen times

and his guts spilled all over the floor.

I enjoyed it!

It's your turn now.

This is how the law works

Hey!

I object.

Would you like to appeal?

The courtroom is a place to uncover the truth.

Time means nothing in the face of the truth.

So no matter how much time it takes

we must wait for the truth to come out.

Isn't that right?

Prosecutor Yeung

could you please stop reciting poetry here?

When can he come?

I'm here!

Sorry

there was some heavy traffic.

My brother left evidence for me

including account books and records of drug transactions

and all of Au Pak-man's bank accounts.

He said to use them as insurance if something happened.

Ma Ka-kit had no idea the package contained drugs.

Au Pak-man even told me to plead guilty.

He said if I didn't

Do you think I'm so afraid of you?

Even if I have to go to prison

Au Pak-man

Prosecutor

Ladies and gentlemen

in Hong Kong

the court values evidence above all

but evidence does not always equal the truth

nor does it necessarily guarantee us justice.

Furthermore

no judicial system is perfect

and loopholes can arise.

These loopholes

are often exploited

by individuals with malicious intent.

When we let innocent people fall victim to these loopholes

as in the case of Ma Ka-kit this time

just one wrongful judgement

can destroy an entire family.

That is why we do not allow wrongful judgments

to happen under our watch

to Ma Ka-kit

or

to anyone!

This is our conscience as legal personnel

This court hereby pronounces the verdict:

The first defendant

and is to be released.

The DOJ celebrates the fact that

the Ma Ka-kit case has been successfully appealed.

The DOJ will continue to optimise its own performance

enhancing the efficiency

of prosecutorial decisions.

It will also strengthen cooperation with other government departments

to provide high-quality legal services to Hong Kong society

ensuring fairness and justice in the judicial process.

Judge Hui

does it mean that the judicial system is not fair enough?

Does it imply that someone made mistakes?

That's right.

I admit it.

The initial judgment

in this case

was indeed flawed.

This has raised doubts and concerns among the public.

Regarding this matter

I sincerely

feel regret and l apologise.
