1
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,079
‫(Episode 11)
2
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,320
‫(This is a work of fiction.)
3
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,840
‫Did the defendant ever...
4
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,160
‫harm Lam Ka Chai in any way?
5
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,320
‫She tried to stab
‫her ex-lover before.
6
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,040
‫- She was jailed for two weeks.
‫- Witness.
7
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,976
‫Now the jury knows the defendant
‫has a criminal record.
8
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,360
‫They will be biased against her.
9
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,200
‫The fairest thing for the defense...
10
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,680
‫is to dismiss the jury immediately.
11
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,120
‫Repeated delays in the trial...
12
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,640
‫will lead to a backlog of cases.
13
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,200
‫It's a waste of taxpayers' money.
14
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,496
‫While I was working that night,
15
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,416
‫I happened to look at
‫the hotel across the street.
16
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,200
‫That woman crushed some pills...
17
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,656
‫and poured them into a bowl of food.
18
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,520
‫What was the man doing at the time?
19
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,760
‫He was watching
‫as the woman crushed the pills.
20
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,840
‫You said that for Lam Ka Chai,
21
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,320
‫you didn't care about anything,
22
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,120
‫even sacrificing your life for him?
23
00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:59,600
‫Yes.
24
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,240
‫Then why did you insist that
‫he divorce his wife?
25
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:05,960
‫I didn't insist.
26
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,920
‫It's just that his marriage
‫was miserable.
27
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,480
‫They had no feelings for each other.
28
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,160
‫They only stayed together
‫for their daughter.
29
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,520
‫My ex-husband and I dragged it on...
30
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,680
‫for seven years without a divorce.
31
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,280
‫I understand that kind of pain.
32
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,560
‫Back then,
‫I really preferred to die.
33
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,800
‫I just didn't want Chai
‫to suffer like that.
34
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,160
‫Can you please state...
35
00:02:41,161 --> 00:02:42,361
‫how you met Lam Ka Chai again?
36
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,720
‫I rarely attend alumni reunions.
37
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,160
‫I don't know why I went
‫at that time.
38
00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:59,440
‫That night, Chai was wearing...
39
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:02,240
‫a gray knit cardigan.
40
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,040
‫I recognized him from afar.
41
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,360
‫He hadn't changed at all.
42
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:12,880
‫He recognized me too.
43
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,560
‫Even though we had been apart...
44
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:20,440
‫and hadn't seen each other
‫for so long,
45
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,800
‫for some reason, that night,
46
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,920
‫we had endless things to talk about.
47
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,560
‫It wasn't like that
‫with other people.
48
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,480
‫When I was with Chai,
49
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,200
‫before I even finished my sentence,
50
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,280
‫he already knew what I was thinking.
51
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,200
‫Meeting Chai again,
52
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,120
‫he made me realize...
53
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,240
‫that the past seven years
‫of my marriage...
54
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,120
‫had been a living hell.
55
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:01,720
‫I had been forcing myself...
56
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,440
‫to accept someone...
57
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,560
‫who didn't appreciate me anymore.
58
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,960
‫After I married my ex-husband,
59
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,120
‫he completely ignored me.
60
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,160
‫Every day
‫when he came home from work,
61
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,480
‫he was either playing games
‫or watching TV.
62
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,480
‫I never thought
‫I would fall in love again.
63
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,120
‫Until I met Chai again.
64
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,680
‫Chai really loved me.
65
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,520
‫But he had a family.
66
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:49,600
‫He said if...
67
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,360
‫he couldn't be with me openly,
68
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,640
‫then we should find a place...
69
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,720
‫where no one could get in our way.
70
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,120
‫I said okay.
71
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,240
‫It didn't matter where we went.
72
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,080
‫Just take me with you.
73
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,680
‫You said you loved Lam Ka Chai?
74
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,760
‫Yes.
75
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,920
‫But often,
‫the opposite of love is hate.
76
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:28,720
‫Have you ever hated him?
77
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,480
‫Defendant,
‫please answer my question.
78
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,960
‫Have you ever hated the deceased?
79
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:43,000
‫I think you've got it all wrong.
80
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,920
‫It was his wife
‫who drove him to his death,
81
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,040
‫not me.
82
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,080
‫It was his wife
‫who kept pushing him.
83
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,160
‫She's the one
‫who drove Chai to this.
84
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,160
‫The core of the dispute
‫in this case is...
85
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,480
‫whether the deceased
‫and the defendant...
86
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,640
‫had a prior pact to commit suicide.
87
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,040
‫Therefore, members of the jury,
‫you must determine...
88
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,079
‫if the deceased
‫had no prior knowledge...
89
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,840
‫of the poison in the whiskey.
90
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,400
‫Is that
‫the only reasonable inference?
91
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,360
‫If you believe it is,
92
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,440
‫the defendant is guilty of murder.
93
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,760
‫Conversely, if you believe...
94
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,039
‫the deceased might have
‫known the drink was poisoned,
95
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,040
‫but still drank it,
96
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,880
‫then the murder charge is
‫not proven.
97
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,320
‫The manslaughter charge would stand.
98
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,560
‫While considering
‫this point of dispute,
99
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,280
‫you need to decide...
100
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,080
‫whether to accept
‫the defense's argument.
101
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,360
‫Did the deceased see the defendant
‫put the poison in the drink...
102
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,240
‫and still drink it willingly?
103
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,560
‫The first defense witness stated...
104
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,080
‫that he saw the scene
‫from the building across the street.
105
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,800
‫You need to consider
‫the circumstances.
106
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,240
‫The two buildings are so far apart.
107
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,840
‫The lights in the room were so dim.
108
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,600
‫Can actions like crushing pills...
109
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,640
‫really be seen clearly?
110
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:33,600
‫Court is adjourned.
111
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:03,440
‫- Hello?
‫- Hello?
112
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,080
‫- Is there a verdict?
‫- Any result?
113
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,040
‫You're not even washing your hands?
114
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,159
‫On the charge of murder...
115
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,760
‫against the defendant,
‫Yeung Yi Ting,
116
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,600
‫have you reached a verdict?
117
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:46,880
‫Yes.
118
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,080
‫Is it a unanimous verdict?
119
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:50,520
‫No.
120
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,360
‫What is the count?
121
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:53,520
‫Five to two.
122
00:10:53,521 --> 00:10:54,720
‫And your verdict is?
123
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,480
‫Guilty.
124
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,000
‫Defendant, please rise.
125
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:30,800
‫This court finds...
126
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,360
‫the defendant, Yeung Yi Ting,
127
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,480
‫on one count of murder,
128
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,120
‫guilty.
129
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:40,440
‫Sentenced to life imprisonment,
‫to be served immediately.
130
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,320
‫Defendant, please remain calm.
131
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,280
‫You witch!
132
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,680
‫- You witch!
‫- Calm down.
133
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,960
‫You witch!
134
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,600
‫- You witch!
‫- Calm down.
135
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,040
‫Calm down.
136
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,240
‫You witch!
137
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,240
‫It's Mr. Tse. He's coming out.
138
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,399
‫You won the case.
‫Do you have anything to say?
139
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:28,439
‫The defendant was
‫very emotional just now.
140
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:29,856
‫- Please say a few words.
‫- Any reaction?
141
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,519
‫What do you think of the verdict?
142
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:32,520
‫What are the next steps?
143
00:12:32,521 --> 00:12:34,160
‫- Any response?
‫- Give us a comment.
144
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,680
‫Mr. Tse, please give us a comment.
145
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,040
‫Are there any grievances?
146
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,880
‫This verdict has served justice.
147
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,400
‫Thank you, everyone.
148
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,440
‫- Good.
‫- Thank you.
149
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,120
‫- Cheers.
‫- Cheers.
150
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,840
‫Come on.
151
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:16,640
‫- Good.
‫- Okay.
152
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:17,840
‫Thank you.
153
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,040
‫Mr. Wong, how is she?
154
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:22,760
‫She should be fine.
155
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,480
‫But I just heard from the doctor...
156
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,360
‫after he reviewed her past records,
157
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,200
‫that it might be related
‫to her brain damage.
158
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,040
‫Brain damage? When did that happen?
159
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:32,176
‫The night she was hospitalized
‫after the suicide attempt.
160
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,520
‫Because her heart once stopped,
161
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,680
‫her brain was
‫temporarily deprived of oxygen.
162
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,400
‫Ms. Yeung, how are you feeling?
163
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,640
‫The woman you yelled at in court,
164
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,000
‫who is she?
165
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,880
‫What was her relationship
‫with Lam Ka Chai?
166
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,720
‫We haven't lost this case yet.
‫We can appeal.
167
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,360
‫The appellant has two grounds
‫for appeal.
168
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,440
‫First, since the jury learned
‫in court...
169
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,159
‫that the defendant had...
170
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,880
‫a prior conviction
‫for common assault,
171
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,040
‫this would inevitably
‫have a direct impact...
172
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,120
‫on the jury's impression
‫of the defendant.
173
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:56,640
‫This is extremely unfair.
174
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,920
‫Although the trial judge...
175
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000
‫solemnly instructed
‫the jury in court...
176
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:03,880
‫to disregard that testimony,
177
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,160
‫in reality, for the jurors
‫during deliberation,
178
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,360
‫to completely forget
‫that testimony...
179
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,800
‫is simply impossible.
180
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,680
‫It is, at the very least,
‫extremely difficult.
181
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,119
‫Second, during the summing up
‫of the facts,
182
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,520
‫the trial judge directed the jury.
183
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,160
‫Allow me to quote
‫the trial judge's words.
184
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,480
‫"The first defense witness
‫stated..."
185
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,639
‫"that he saw the scene..."
186
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,200
‫"from the building
‫across the street."
187
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,040
‫"You need to consider
‫the circumstances."
188
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,880
‫The two buildings are so far apart.
189
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,560
‫The lights in the room were so dim.
190
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,800
‫Can actions like crushing pills...
191
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,120
‫really be seen clearly?
192
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,719
‫The trial judge used descriptions...
193
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,760
‫like "so far apart" and "so dim"...
194
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,920
‫to summarize
‫the witness's testimony.
195
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,400
‫This effectively inserted
‫the judge's own opinion,
196
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,159
‫completely undermining
‫the credibility...
197
00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,480
‫of the witness's testimony.
198
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,440
‫Looking back at the testimony,
199
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,520
‫the witness
‫could clearly identify...
200
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,480
‫the furnishings and paintings
‫in the room.
201
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,680
‫The judge should have left it
‫to the jury...
202
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,440
‫to decide whether to accept
‫the witness's evidence,
203
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,400
‫without adding
‫his own interpretation.
204
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,400
‫Therefore, the appellant contends...
205
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,080
‫that the trial judge's direction
‫was not balanced,
206
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:23,600
‫was biased,
207
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,160
‫and caused serious injustice
‫to the defendant.
208
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,080
‫The respondent contends...
209
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,680
‫that the jury followed
‫the trial judge's instructions...
210
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,480
‫and disregarded
‫the defendant's criminal record...
211
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:38,960
‫when considering the verdict.
212
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,400
‫The appellant should not assume...
213
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,880
‫that the jury lacks the capacity
‫for such judgment.
214
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,400
‫Furthermore,
‫regarding the trial judge's...
215
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,240
‫direction to the jury,
216
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,360
‫the respondent believes...
217
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,040
‫the judge was merely
‫responsibly reminding the jury...
218
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,120
‫of the factors to consider...
219
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,560
‫when determining the credibility
‫of the witness's testimony.
220
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,360
‫The trial judge
‫did direct the jury...
221
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,720
‫to consider the distance
‫and lighting at the time,
222
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,560
‫but there was no bias involved.
223
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,080
‫Even if the jury had not heard...
224
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,920
‫the allegedly problematic phrasing,
225
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,240
‫they had sufficient guidance...
226
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,040
‫to reach the same verdict.
227
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,200
‫Finally, the verdict
‫of guilty of murder...
228
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,080
‫was reached
‫by an overwhelming majority vote.
229
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,760
‫It is clear
‫that the jury's decision...
230
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:30,920
‫on the facts of the case...
231
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,120
‫was unequivocal.
232
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,000
‫Regarding the points raised
‫by the appellant,
233
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:43,160
‫the Court of Appeal rules
‫as follows.
234
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:44,640
‫First,
235
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,240
‫a murder conviction requires
‫a majority of 5 to 2 or more.
236
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,200
‫Only then can a verdict be reached.
237
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,280
‫Thus, 5 to 2 is not
‫an overwhelming majority,
238
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,840
‫but merely the minimum required.
239
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,160
‫In fact, it is difficult to deny...
240
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,360
‫that the jury's knowledge
‫of the defendant's record...
241
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,360
‫could have had an impact.
242
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,840
‫Furthermore,
‫the Court of Appeal agrees...
243
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,680
‫with the appellant's argument.
244
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:15,360
‫The trial judge's use of terms...
245
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,320
‫like "so far" and "so dim"...
246
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,120
‫to describe
‫the witness's testimony...
247
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,920
‫did indeed cast doubt
‫on its credibility.
248
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,600
‫Whether a witness is credible...
249
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,160
‫should be left
‫for the jury to decide.
250
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,080
‫The trial judge's direction...
251
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,400
‫may have caused serious injustice
‫to the defendant.
252
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,200
‫For the reasons stated above,
253
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,120
‫the Court of Appeal
‫allows the appeal.
254
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,560
‫The case is remitted for a retrial.
255
00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:53,120
‫I found that woman.
256
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:54,816
‫Mr. Wong said
‫her name is Yung Sin Nei.
257
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,200
‫She was Lam Ka Chai's other lover.
258
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,240
‫Lam Ka Chai had another woman?
259
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,256
‫No wonder Yeung Yi Ting was
‫so agitated...
260
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:02,359
‫and threw a shoe at her.
261
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:03,760
‫- Do you have an address?
‫- Yes.
262
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,440
‫Mr. Wong said the police are
‫also looking for her.
263
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,240
‫Tell Mr. Wong we're on our way.
264
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,880
‫- Tell him to head there too.
‫- Now?
265
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,576
‫If the prosecution
‫gets there first...
266
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:12,936
‫and takes her as a witness,
‫we're in trouble.
267
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,040
‫But what does she know?
268
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,520
‫It's scary because we don't know.
269
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,520
‫Anyway, let's get to her first.
270
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,680
‫Then we can find a way
‫to do damage control.
271
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:36,800
‫Hello? Yes, Officer Cheung.
272
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:38,520
‫You found her?
273
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,160
‫Hold on, Mr. Tse is
‫right next to me.
274
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,040
‫Officer Cheung
‫found the woman's info.
275
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:43,120
‫Officer Cheung.
276
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,920
‫Please take her statement
‫as soon as possible.
277
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,280
‫The earliest is
‫the day after tomorrow?
278
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,920
‫We can't wait.
‫Give me the address now. That's all.
279
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,960
‫We shouldn't
‫contact a witness directly.
280
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,560
‫- Is she a witness yet?
‫- No.
281
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,400
‫- Can we be ordinary people?
‫- Yes.
282
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,480
‫What's wrong
‫with ordinary people meeting?
283
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:39,640
‫Good luck, Master.
284
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,240
‫- Please wait.
‫- What is it?
285
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:34,680
‫I don't know you.
286
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,360
‫Ms. Yung, I saw you in the gallery.
287
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,440
‫Do you recognize me?
288
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,016
‫- Aren't you...
‫- That's enough.
289
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,176
‫It's enough that you recognize me.
290
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,520
‫I just want to have a quick word.
291
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:47,880
‫It won't take much of your time.
292
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,720
‫That day in court,
293
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,240
‫why did Yeung Yi Ting
‫throw a shoe at you?
294
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,480
‫Was it because you
‫and Lam Ka Chai...
295
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:05,840
‫had a special relationship?
296
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:17,960
‫Actually, I was...
297
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:20,920
‫with Chai for a month.
298
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:23,600
‫Then the incident happened.
299
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,800
‫When did Yeung Yi Ting
‫find out about you?
300
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,840
‫The night it happened, October 16.
301
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,160
‫I called Chai that night.
302
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,120
‫I said I wanted to see him.
303
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,520
‫But he said
‫it wasn't convenient to come out.
304
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:48,760
‫Then I heard Yeung Yi Ting's voice.
305
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,080
‫She asked him who he was talking to.
306
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,000
‫Chai didn't answer.
307
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,080
‫He just hung up.
308
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,960
‫How did you know
‫that the voice was Yeung Yi Ting's?
309
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:02,800
‫Because when I was with Chai,
310
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,360
‫I heard her voice messages.
311
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,480
‫I recognized her voice.
312
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:09,720
‫Does anyone else know...
313
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,000
‫about your relationship?
314
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,440
‫Actually, we weren't together
‫for very long.
315
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:23,120
‫And he had a wife.
316
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:25,400
‫Plus Yeung Yi Ting.
317
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,880
‫How did you two stay in touch?
318
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,040
‫Phone calls? Messages?
319
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,240
‫Can you show me?
320
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:51,320
‫(Delete Chat)
321
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:52,320
‫(Delete Everything)
322
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,320
‫What are you doing?
323
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:54,920
‫Actually...
324
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,319
‫Actually, I haven't told anyone
‫about what happened that night...
325
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:58,920
‫because I don't want
‫to testify in court.
326
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:00,880
‫I have a reputation to maintain.
327
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,120
‫- But...
‫- Actually, I've said enough.
328
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,440
‫This is the last time
‫I'll talk about this.
329
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:09,480
‫I won't mention it to anyone else.
330
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:11,280
‫I won't appear in court.
331
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:29,720
‫Master.
332
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:34,440
‫I recorded what she said.
333
00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:37,176
‫That's a breach
‫of professional ethics.
334
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,656
‫She'll report us for violating
‫the Barrister's Code of Conduct.
335
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:39,736
‫She said she won't go to court.
336
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:40,800
‫Then I'll take the stand.
337
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,040
‫I can explain
‫where the recording came from.
338
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,880
‫We'll both face disciplinary action.
339
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:49,440
‫Delete it.
340
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:53,960
‫It might not prove murder,
341
00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:57,160
‫but it proves
‫something happened that night...
342
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,576
‫that would make Yeung Yi Ting
‫hate Lam Ka Chai.
343
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:00,600
‫Delete it.
344
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:12,920
‫Wait.
345
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,240
‫Hold on a second.
346
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,360
‫Hello? What's up? Busy again?
347
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:38,800
‫Did you get kidnapped to KK Park?
348
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,480
‫We've been trying
‫to have this dinner for a month.
349
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:45,760
‫No,
350
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,160
‫my master has taken on
‫a lot of work lately.
351
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,240
‫I'm exhausted.
352
00:27:49,241 --> 00:27:50,960
‫I'm eating cup noodles
‫at the office.
353
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:52,640
‫Let's reschedule.
354
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,880
‫The evidence
‫and witnesses are ready.
355
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,400
‫Next, I would like
‫to coordinate the trial dates.
356
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:17,840
‫I'm available next week on the 12th.
357
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:20,960
‫I'm sorry.
358
00:28:20,961 --> 00:28:23,120
‫I'm following up on another case
‫next week. I can't.
359
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:24,200
‫What about the 17th?
360
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,200
‫I'm free.
361
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:31,560
‫I'm sorry, Your Honor.
362
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,320
‫I have to follow up
‫on another case too.
363
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,320
‫How about the 30th
‫at the end of the month?
364
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,200
‫I'm really sorry.
365
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,240
‫Mr. Yu, when is
‫the earliest you can do it?
366
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,359
‫My earliest opening is
‫three months from now,
367
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:45,360
‫December 4th.
368
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,280
‫My schedule is fully booked
‫until then.
369
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:49,720
‫Your Honor,
370
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,120
‫my key witness, Chiu Chui Fong,
371
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:53,960
‫is emigrating
‫from Hong Kong next month.
372
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,480
‫I would like to get
‫the trial started before she leaves.
373
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,600
‫Mr. Yu, can't you accommodate...
374
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,080
‫an earlier date?
375
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:05,640
‫I'm sorry, Your Honor.
376
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,800
‫The trial dates for other cases
‫have been set.
377
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:08,880
‫There's nothing I can do.
378
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:12,440
‫October is fine.
379
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,080
‫The case will be closed by then.
380
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,840
‫Sorry, Victor. That's mine.
381
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:30,600
‫Your Honor,
382
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,520
‫if the witness is unwilling
‫to appear,
383
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,160
‫the prosecution requests to cite
‫Chiu Chui Fong's testimony...
384
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,280
‫from the second trial.
385
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:37,840
‫At that time, her testimony...
386
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,879
‫had already been tested
‫by the defense...
387
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:40,880
‫during cross-examination.
388
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,200
‫The defense objects.
389
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,960
‫The witness's testimony
‫is crucial to the defendant.
390
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,400
‫If her testimony is to be cited,
391
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,960
‫I believe
‫she must testify in person.
392
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,080
‫Mr. Tse,
393
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:52,960
‫to be fair to the defendant,
394
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,840
‫the prosecution needs the witness
‫to testify in court.
395
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,240
‫Please communicate
‫with the witness again.
396
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,200
‫I hope she can stay
‫for two more months.
397
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,800
‫If she really can't,
398
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,680
‫perhaps she can return to Hong Kong
‫when the trial begins?
399
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,680
‫Or she could testify via video link.
400
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,640
‫Thank you, Your Honor. I'll try.
401
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,440
‫The trial is scheduled
‫for December 4.
402
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,040
‫How devious.
403
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,560
‫No, she said after the last trial,
404
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,016
‫she was already scolded
‫by her mother.
405
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,000
‫She was told off
‫for treating her cousin that way.
406
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,400
‫Now the trial is three months away.
407
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,720
‫She will be in Canada by then.
408
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,280
‫She won't fly back just for this.
409
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,200
‫Did you tell her she could testify
‫via video conference?
410
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,639
‫I did, but she said
‫there's a time difference...
411
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,080
‫and she would be sleeping.
412
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,960
‫Basically, it's a no-go.
413
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,080
‫Thank you, Officer Cheung.
414
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:13,840
‫I'll get some water.
415
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,800
‫What? Don't be so nosy.
416
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,120
‫Yes.
417
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,360
‫Don't congratulate me yet.
‫It's just a retrial.
418
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,280
‫Do you think it's that easy to win?
419
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:28,480
‫I'll get back to work now.
420
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,720
‫Yes, I'll call you
‫after this busy period.
421
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:31,800
‫Bye.
422
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:37,200
‫What's wrong?
423
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,536
‫We're all just doing our jobs.
‫There's no need for this.
424
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:40,560
‫Doing your job?
425
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,840
‫Delaying for three months is
‫doing your job?
426
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,280
‫My mentor's schedule is
‫just that full.
427
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:46,480
‫He didn't want this either.
428
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,240
‫He didn't want Chiu Chui Fong
‫to testify.
429
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:49,759
‫So he deliberately took on
‫a lot of work...
430
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:50,799
‫to fill up his schedule.
431
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,040
‫Then he could tell the judge,
432
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:53,720
‫"I'm sorry,
‫I really have no openings."
433
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,679
‫What are you talking about?
‫Chiu Chui Fong is emigrating.
434
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,840
‫We only found out
‫because you mentioned it in court.
435
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,560
‫But he peeked at my document.
436
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:01,320
‫What are you talking about?
437
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,640
‫That day,
‫my document was right here.
438
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,640
‫Only he and I were in the pantry.
439
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,280
‫I left it behind
‫and came back for it.
440
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,200
‫When I returned,
‫the folder was open.
441
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,080
‫If it wasn't him,
‫who else could it be?
442
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,176
‫Don't falsely accuse my mentor.
443
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,920
‫Stop pretending.
‫You two are in cahoots.
444
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,559
‫- How devious!
‫- That's enough.
445
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,799
‫- What?
‫- What?
446
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:20,880
‫- Henry.
‫- What did I do?
447
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,400
‫What are you doing?
‫Fighting over a court case?
448
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,400
‫Victor peeked
‫at the prosecution's files.
449
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,680
‫Do you realize
‫that's a serious accusation?
450
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:54,936
‫How would he even have the chance...
451
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,320
‫to touch our files?
452
00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,640
‫I left them in the pantry.
453
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:00,976
‫But he still shouldn't have looked.
454
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,079
‫And he used such underhanded tactics
‫to pretend to be busy.
455
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:03,456
‫If you say
‫"underhanded tactics" again,
456
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:04,680
‫I'll kick you out immediately.
457
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:09,880
‫The document you left in the pantry,
458
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,200
‫was it open or closed?
459
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:15,920
‫Answer me.
460
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,280
‫Did Victor open it himself,
461
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,160
‫or was it already open?
462
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:23,840
‫I'm not quite sure.
463
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,120
‫No need to guess.
464
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,720
‫I saw their documents by accident.
465
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:43,800
‫So Master, you...
466
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:45,440
‫really did peek?
467
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,880
‫It was by the coffee machine
‫and open.
468
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:50,840
‫When I was making coffee,
469
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,200
‫I just happened to glance at it.
470
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,560
‫So taking all those jobs
‫was intentional?
471
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,080
‫I didn't take them on purpose.
472
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:57,840
‫I just purposely didn't
‫turn them down.
473
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:00,880
‫I'm the one who opened it.
474
00:34:00,881 --> 00:34:02,200
‫Then that's your problem.
475
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,240
‫You left the file in the pantry,
‫and it was even open.
476
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:06,920
‫Anyone passing by would've looked.
477
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,160
‫I would've done the same.
478
00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:09,880
‫It was your own carelessness.
479
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,120
‫Hello?
480
00:34:32,240 --> 00:34:33,240
‫Officer Cheung said...
481
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,560
‫he just finished
‫taking Yung Sin Nei's statement.
482
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,120
‫But it was completely useless.
483
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,680
‫She brought a lawyer
‫to the station...
484
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,440
‫and didn't say a word
‫the whole time.
485
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,960
‫There's nothing in her statement.
486
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,280
‫I figured as much.
487
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,000
‫Actually, it was clear that day.
488
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,760
‫The evidence we have now...
489
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,960
‫is only enough
‫to support manslaughter.
490
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,440
‫I bet the DOJ will change
‫the charge too.
491
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,016
‫Are we just
‫letting her off like that?
492
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,040
‫From now on,
493
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,720
‫the whole story changes
‫to manslaughter.
494
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,800
‫Lawsuits aren't set in stone.
495
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,360
‫We have to change tactics
‫when necessary.
496
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,080
‫It's clearly murder,
‫with so much evidence.
497
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,280
‫If it's inadmissible,
‫it's not evidence.
498
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,160
‫Contact Kong Sai Chung
‫as soon as possible.
499
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,760
‫Get him to be
‫our prosecution witness.
500
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,760
‫The woman
‫you threw your shoe at in court...
501
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:31,840
‫is called Yung Sin Nei.
502
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,880
‫She was
‫Lam Ka Chai's other mistress.
503
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,320
‫You wouldn't tell me,
‫no matter how I asked.
504
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,520
‫Because you didn't
‫want anyone to know...
505
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,600
‫that besides you,
506
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,200
‫Lam Ka Chai had another woman.
507
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:47,600
‫You didn't want to admit...
508
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:50,320
‫that Lam Ka Chai didn't
‫actually love you that much.
509
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:56,440
‫You were fooled by him.
510
00:35:57,720 --> 00:35:59,000
‫You were willing to die for him.
511
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,040
‫But what about him?
512
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:10,960
‫The trial will resume soon.
513
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,640
‫If you think a man like him...
514
00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:16,680
‫is worth spending
‫the rest of your life in prison,
515
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:17,880
‫I have nothing more to say.
516
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,560
‫But things are different now.
517
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,400
‫There's a good chance your cousin...
518
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,160
‫won't testify for the prosecution.
519
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,360
‫Yung Sin Nei won't say anything
‫either.
520
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,480
‫As for your cautioned statement,
521
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,800
‫I'm confident I can
‫help you overturn it.
522
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,560
‫But if there's something...
523
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,200
‫you can tell me that would help,
524
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,040
‫you had better tell me now.
525
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:55,800
‫It's up to your instructions now.
526
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,480
‫Do you still want
‫to plead guilty to manslaughter?
527
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,040
‫That day in court,
528
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:09,960
‫I finally recognized her.
529
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,120
‫I remembered a lot of things.
530
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,240
‫It turns out I remembered
‫a lot of things wrong.
531
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,120
‫I bought a painting to hang there.
532
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,840
‫- It's coming tomorrow. Sign for it.
‫- Okay.
533
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,679
‫DOJ will change the charge
‫to manslaughter.
534
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,319
‫- I know.
‫- Plead guilty to manslaughter?
535
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:00,999
‫- No.
‫- Not even to manslaughter?
536
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,680
‫- So you'll challenge the statement?
‫- Yes.
537
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:45,960
‫The defense objects
‫to the submission...
538
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:47,759
‫of the defendant's
‫cautioned statement...
539
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:48,800
‫taken at the hospital.
540
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:50,360
‫On what grounds?
541
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:52,760
‫Your Honor,
542
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,000
‫due to the defendant's
‫physical condition,
543
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,440
‫she was unfit to give a statement.
544
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,160
‫But when the police
‫took her statement,
545
00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:01,279
‫they had already consulted...
546
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:02,576
‫the defendant's
‫attending physician...
547
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:03,680
‫and received his approval.
548
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:07,200
‫Your Honor,
549
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,880
‫this is the medical record
‫from the ward...
550
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,040
‫on the night
‫the statement was taken.
551
00:39:14,240 --> 00:39:16,960
‫It states that on the day
‫the statement was recorded,
552
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,320
‫at 7:30am, 8:30am, and 9pm,
553
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,040
‫she suffered from memory confusion.
554
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,080
‫She didn't know where she was...
555
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:27,240
‫or what she had done.
556
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,160
‫At one point, she didn't
‫even know who she was.
557
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,440
‫This memory confusion...
558
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,960
‫persisted intermittently
‫for two weeks.
559
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,440
‫Your Honor,
‫the prosecution disagrees.
560
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,120
‫The defendant was coherent
‫when the statement was recorded.
561
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,680
‫It shows that she was
‫in the right state of mind.
562
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,720
‫If the defendant suffered
‫from memory confusion later,
563
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,240
‫how can the prosecution conclude...
564
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,200
‫that she was lucid
‫when she gave the statement?
565
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,120
‫I understand the defense's concern.
566
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,280
‫I will allow
‫a voir dire procedure...
567
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,560
‫before the trial begins.
568
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,880
‫Madam, please confirm
‫if you recorded...
569
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,200
‫this statement yourself.
570
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:22,920
‫Yes, that's correct.
571
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:24,480
‫Please tell us,
572
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,616
‫when you were taking this statement
‫from the defendant,
573
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,440
‫what was her physical condition?
574
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,920
‫It was about a week
‫after the incident,
575
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,560
‫on October 23, 2024.
576
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,440
‫The defendant was
‫in the detention ward.
577
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:38,600
‫She was already sitting up.
578
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,160
‫She was in a good mental state.
579
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:41,800
‫What do you mean by "good"?
580
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:44,920
‫We would ask her
‫some basic questions,
581
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,080
‫such as her name, age,
582
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,280
‫address, ID number, and so on.
583
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,080
‫Then we would ask
‫some simple questions...
584
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,320
‫to ensure she was fully lucid.
585
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,320
‫After that,
‫I would give the caution,
586
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,720
‫and she would
‫indicate she understood.
587
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,160
‫Only then
‫would we start the statement.
588
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,400
‫So you're saying you confirmed...
589
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,120
‫the defendant was fully lucid...
590
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:09,560
‫before you took her statement?
591
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:11,600
‫Yes, that's correct.
592
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,400
‫Can you elaborate on "fully lucid"?
593
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,080
‫It means besides her name,
594
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:19,960
‫I also asked some simple logic...
595
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:21,200
‫and memory questions.
596
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,880
‫She was able to answer
‫all of them accurately.
597
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,680
‫So we confirmed
‫her mental state was normal,
598
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,000
‫her memory was normal,
599
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:31,880
‫and she was coherent and lucid.
600
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:37,000
‫Please turn to page 12
‫of the cautioned statement.
601
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:38,600
‫Look at line 6.
602
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,960
‫"We took a taxi to the hotel..."
603
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:48,040
‫That's enough, thank you.
604
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,680
‫Did you know the defendant
‫and Lam Ka Chai...
605
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,480
‫took a ride-hail car to the hotel?
606
00:41:53,240 --> 00:41:54,240
‫I didn't know that.
607
00:41:54,241 --> 00:41:56,241
‫I was only responsible
‫for recording the statement.
608
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,880
‫Then please read page 10, line 15.
609
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:04,600
‫"On the morning of the incident,"
610
00:42:04,601 --> 00:42:06,056
‫"I went back to the office
‫for a while..."
611
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:07,080
‫Okay, thank you.
612
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,200
‫In fact, two months
‫before the incident,
613
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:11,760
‫the defendant had already resigned.
614
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:12,840
‫Did you know that?
615
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:14,440
‫I didn't know.
616
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,760
‫I was only responsible
‫for recording the statement.
617
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,320
‫Then please read page 14, line 2.
618
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,440
‫"Chai and I booked a hotel
‫for three days..."
619
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:28,520
‫That's enough.
620
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,920
‫According to the hotel's records,
621
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:32,640
‫they booked it
‫for seven consecutive days.
622
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:33,680
‫Did you know that?
623
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:36,359
‫I'm not sure.
‫I was only responsible...
624
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,200
‫Responsible for recording
‫the statement, right?
625
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:43,000
‫You just said you confirmed
‫the defendant's memory was normal,
626
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,200
‫that she was coherent and lucid.
627
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,160
‫But you didn't notice...
628
00:42:47,240 --> 00:42:49,760
‫she gave so many statements
‫that didn't match the facts.
629
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:55,600
‫Can you really confirm her memory
‫was normal, coherent, and lucid?
630
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:57,816
‫We were only responsible
‫for taking the statement.
631
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,560
‫If the defendant intended to lie,
632
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,520
‫there's no way
‫we would know immediately.
633
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,480
‫You took her statement...
634
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,440
‫one week after the incident.
635
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,296
‫The police already had
‫all the information...
636
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:08,680
‫I just mentioned.
637
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:10,560
‫We were suddenly instructed...
638
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:11,640
‫to go and take the statement.
639
00:43:11,641 --> 00:43:13,640
‫We didn't have time
‫to prepare at all.
640
00:43:13,720 --> 00:43:15,280
‫When you took her statement,
641
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,280
‫you didn't even have
‫the basic facts.
642
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,200
‫How can you say my client...
643
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,000
‫had a normal memory and was lucid?
644
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,040
‫In fact, the defendant
‫didn't mean to deceive you.
645
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,880
‫The things she said
‫that didn't match the facts...
646
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,960
‫were trivial and easily verifiable.
647
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,160
‫She had no reason to lie to you.
648
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,600
‫If you had
‫paid closer attention then,
649
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:37,760
‫you would have realized...
650
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,200
‫the defendant's mental state...
651
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:41,920
‫was unfit for taking a statement.
652
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:44,160
‫Do you know...
653
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,240
‫that on the same night
‫you took her statement,
654
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:48,640
‫the doctor found...
655
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,400
‫the defendant had memory distortion
‫more than once?
656
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:55,520
‫I didn't know.
657
00:43:55,720 --> 00:43:56,800
‫I put it to you...
658
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,440
‫that you disregarded
‫the defendant's mental state.
659
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:00,680
‫Just to get the job done,
660
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,360
‫you recorded a statement
‫full of errors.
661
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,240
‫- I disagree.
‫- Your Honor, no further questions.
662
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,480
‫Defendant, please tell us about...
663
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,880
‫the situation when you gave
‫your statement at the hospital.
664
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:21,816
‫Actually, I don't really remember...
665
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,120
‫the details of that day anymore.
666
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,280
‫Regarding the police officer
‫taking your statement,
667
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:27,520
‫do you have any recollection?
668
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:31,720
‫My memory is very vague.
669
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,360
‫I only remember the police
‫asking me things,
670
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,640
‫but I forgot what they asked me.
671
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,896
‫If you thought there was a problem
‫with the statement-taking process,
672
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,400
‫why didn't you raise it
‫during the last two trials?
673
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,680
‫Why are you suddenly objecting now?
674
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,320
‫I didn't even know
‫I couldn't remember things.
675
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,600
‫It was when I fainted
‫in court last time...
676
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,160
‫and was sent to the hospital...
677
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,560
‫that I realized there was
‫a problem with my memory.
678
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,920
‫I put it to you
‫that you know very well...
679
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:04,520
‫that when you gave your statement,
680
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,880
‫your memory and mind were
‫perfectly fine.
681
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:09,080
‫No, they weren't.
682
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:10,600
‫I really remembered
‫many wrong things.
683
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,000
‫Given that the defendant's
‫cautioned statement...
684
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,840
‫may have been taken
‫under unfair circumstances,
685
00:45:19,240 --> 00:45:21,000
‫and the prosecution
‫has failed to prove...
686
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,680
‫its admissibility
‫beyond reasonable doubt,
687
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:25,959
‫this court rules...
688
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,320
‫to not admit the cautioned statement
‫as evidence.
689
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,480
‫Today is the third trial...
690
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:45,816
‫of the Avalon Hotel murder case.
691
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:46,936
‫Yeung Yi Ting's prison van...
692
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:48,840
‫has just entered the court
‫through this passage.
693
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:50,600
‫The trial process of this case...
694
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,040
