Defence solicitor jailed for seven days for obstructing police officer; magistrate says no remorse, community service unsuitable
初選47人案提堂首晚,警方圍封西九龍裁判法院出入口,一名辯方事務律師嘗試進入法院範圍以處理案件,期間拒絕應警方要求出示身份證明文件,他早前遭裁定「故意阻撓警務人員」罪成,今(2日)於西九龍裁判法院判刑。裁判官鄭念慈指案情嚴重,被告知法犯法,且看不到他有真誠悔意,不適宜判處社會服務令,最終判監7日。被告獲准保釋以等候上訴。
On the first night the 47 defendants in the primary election case appeared in court, police cordoned off the entrances to West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts. A defence solicitor tried to enter the court area to handle the case but refused to produce identification documents when requested by police. He had earlier been convicted of wilfully obstructing a police officer and was sentenced at West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts today (the 2nd). Magistrate Cheung Nim-chi said the case was serious and that the defendant had knowingly broken the law, while there was no indication of genuine remorse. The magistrate ruled that a community service order was unsuitable and sentenced him to seven days’ imprisonment. The defendant was granted bail pending an appeal.
