10.13旺角｜女子涉「私了」清路障者獲判無罪 律政司3年後提上訴今被駁回
On October 13, 2019, clashes erupted in Mong Kok during the “Blossom in 18 Districts” protests. A woman was subjected to a “vigilante attack” while clearing roadblocks. The 42-year-old woman at the time of the incident was accused of opening an umbrella to shield people in black while they attacked her, but was acquitted after trial in 2020. The Department of Justice filed an appeal three years later. The case was heard in the High Court more than a year afterwards, on Tuesday (26th), and the judge dismissed the appeal the same day.
Acting Judge Yiu Fan-chi said, “This case has been going on for quite some time, so I do not intend to adjourn it again,” and delivered his decision that day. He said the defendant’s suddenly opening an umbrella for the person concerned before the group attacked was “indeed a very suspicious act”. However, given the confusion at the scene, he considered that the defendant might not have heard anyone calling for an umbrella to be opened. As she had not worn a mask to conceal her appearance, he concluded that the original verdict was correct.
2019 年 10 月 13 日「18 區開花」，旺角爆發衝突，一名女子清路障時遭「私了」。案發時 42 歲女子被指開傘掩護黑衣人施襲，2020 年經審訊獲裁定無罪。律政司 3 年後提出上訴，案件再在逾一年後，即周二（26 日）在高院審理，法官即日駁回上訴。
暫委法官姚勳智指，「案件都幾耐㗎喎，唔打算再押後」，故即日裁決。他指被告在眾人襲擊之前突然為事主「開遮」，「確實是非常可疑之舉」。惟現場混亂，認為被告未必聽到有人呼籲「開遮」，加她沒戴口罩遮蓋容貌，認為原審裁決無誤。

陳真遭「私了」案 5人暴動等罪成 判囚3年半至5年3個月
Middle-aged unemployed man Joe Chen was alleged to have bitten off the left ear of former Eastern District councillor Chao Ka-hin and injured him with a knife outside Cityplaza on 3 November 2019, before himself being struck and attacked by others. Six men were charged with rioting and wounding with intent, among other offences. Four pleaded guilty; of the other two, one was convicted and one acquitted after trial. The five convicted men were sentenced at the District Court on Saturday (20th) to between 3½ years and 5 years 3 months in prison.
Acting Judge Ko Wai-hung cited the defence's mitigation submissions, which said that one defendant was a member of Hong Kong teams for kabaddi and dodgeball, while another was a singer-songwriter who had been signed by a Taiwanese record company, but whose contract was suspended after the company learned of his arrest. Another defendant obtained a fitness instructor licence while awaiting trial.
The judge said he agreed that the victim, Joe Chen, had provoked the crowd's emotions, but said that whatever the brutality and irrationality of his actions, particularly after he had fallen to the ground, the crowd's continued assault could no longer be regarded as lawful or reasonable. He said the defendants' actions were tantamount to “taking matters into their own hands”.
Court records show that Joe Chen was charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and other offences, convicted and sentenced to 14½ years in prison. His appeal against sentence succeeded in May this year, reducing the sentence to 14 years' imprisonment.
中年無業漢陳真涉於 2019 年 11 月 3 日，於太古城中心外，咬甩前東區區議員趙家賢左耳及持刀傷人，後亦遭其他人擲物、攻擊。6 男被控暴動、有意圖傷人等罪，4 人認罪，另兩人受審後一人罪成、一人罪脫。罪成 5 人周六（20 日）在區院被判囚 3 年半至 5 年 3 個月。
暫委法官高偉雄引述辯方求情稱，有被告為卡巴迪及躲避盤的港隊成員，另為唱作音樂人，曾獲台灣唱片公司簽約，但知悉他被捕後則中止合約；亦有被告候審期間考取健身教練牌照。
官指，同意事主陳真有挑動眾人情緒，但指陳的所作所為即使如何兇殘及不理性，尤其陳倒地後，群眾仍施襲，已不可能視為合法或合理，又指被告的行為等同「私了」。
翻查資料，陳真被起訴蓄意嚴重傷人等罪，罪成被判囚 14 年半，今年 5 月刑罰上訴得直，減刑至判囚 14 年。
