今天司法機構上載了這判刑上訴的判詞：香港特別行政區 對 C.W.S.，是一宗非禮親生女兒的案件，案發時被告的女兒約9至10歲，沒有確實的犯案日期，所以受害人當時的歲數也不能確定。為免暴露受害人的身分，被告的名字也從簡。非禮最高刑期為監禁10年，一般只會在裁判法院審理，本案在區域法院審，被告否認控罪，經審訊後定罪，無疑要他的女兒作供指證他，重溫悲痛的經歷。最後法官把被告定罪，判了5年半監禁。以非禮案而言，這判刑近乎強姦，事實上案情也近乎強姦。被告在判刑後確診急性血癌，上訴庭以人道理由給予被告較大幅度的刑期扣減，把原本刑期減為4年半，避免他在獄中終老。看官請隨上面判詞的連結登入去看，是一篇又短又易看的判詞。我想很多人會覺得被告應該就地正法，然後餵野豬野狗，死在獄中也便宜了他。對於這種禽獸，還有需要賦予人道嗎？上訴庭的減刑不單是濫發慈悲，有顧及受害人的感受嗎？我看到這種判詞會無名火起，血壓攀升。這被告死有餘辜，幹嗎要管他死在那裏？
如果你有勇氣覺得自己不會嘔吐，上面判詞的右下角有Appeal History, click入去就可以看到原審區域法院在2014年1月23日的判決書及2014年2月24日的判刑理由，看完你的血壓也會攀升。

這種案情如果控告「向16歲以下兒童作出嚴重猥褻行為」判刑上會有分別嗎？
回覆刪除Indecent Assault is more appropriate. Gross Indecency needs no element of hostile act or threat, ie no element of assault. After all the S.146 offence is also liable to 10 years imprisonment. In terms of maximum, no difference.
刪除香港絕大多數的判刑，相對英美澳等普通法國家，都是偏輕的
回覆刪除法律未必收到他，天收他，報應
Every jail sentence is potentially a life one since a lot of criminals, aside from possessing certain exceptional “survival skills”, have the tendency to pick fights with others, no matter where. Dying while incarcerated therefore comes as no surprise. So why is this appeal court judge so obsessed with the mission of trying to prevent a convicted criminal from dying in jail? (The funny thing, however, is that the counsel for the respondent concurs with this point of view.) Unfortunately, as indicated in the prognosis of the medical report, cutting down the jail term to 4 and half years seems to have a remote chance of achieving this lofty goal. If the avoidance of death in jail is an inherent right of an individual guaranteed and protected by the constitution or anything to that effect, I am all ears to an algorithm which shows how all possible variables can be factored into the equation when it comes an inmate’s life expectancy in prison. Perhaps this is just another example of a higher court judge’s repressed inflated ego rearing its ugly head to show the world that his decision is smarter than that of his lower court counterpart, after the fact though.
回覆刪除I agree with you without demur. There is one more observation. To reduce the sentence in this manner is unlike Maggie Poon. I believe she could not be herself sitting beside the dominating VP.
刪除我從未見過只有兩個法官聽審的會有dissenting; 1 對 1 的比數真不知怎辦?
刪除無論幾多位法官，我有時也會懷疑那句"I agree." 是不是「隻眼開隻眼閉」，或是因為法官太忙所以交給另一位法官全權處理？
PHLI
老弟，有大食大，大佬執筆，無得駁嘴。你想下，人家坐上訴庭，你坐高院搭單坐埋黎，幾時到你講。
刪除搭單都應該司法獨立，拒絕做橡皮圖章嘛。
刪除純粹fantasy: 這篇判詞反映法官柔情(?)的一面，充滿mercy. And I must be crazy.
憤青PHLI
我也只是瞎猜。
刪除別作憤青，這社會使人憤慨的事太多，憤青很快會變成維園阿伯。
標少你覺得應有什麽法規避免這類見死不救情況嗎? 屍肝都不肯捐出, 真是離譜. KKC
回覆刪除"有嚴重肝衰竭的李先生，仍在瑪麗醫院深切治療部留醫，情況危殆。盧寵茂在本台節目表示，過去幾日曾有幾個腦死亡病人適合捐肝，血型亦與李先生吻合，同樣屬於O型，但由於死者家屬拒絕捐出屍肝，令李先生錯過換肝機會。"
無計喎！捐喎，不是徵用。有錢佬都有權不捐錢，只有極權國家才有辦法。
刪除還是靠長期教育和宗教感染吧. KKC
刪除頗漫長。
刪除如果個人渣4年半唔死仲醫得番，咁佢賺晒？
回覆刪除Sar
唔使4年半，獄中行為良好，再加假期，再加審前及定罪後的拘押及服刑時間，很快就放出嚟。
刪除This is a disgrace. A man like him should never be released from prison.
刪除個人渣知道甚麼人道嗎？對個親生女就無人道。檢控官可上訴嗎？好明顯個人渣有心理病，送入精神病院等死都好。反正都係浪費納稅人的錢。
回覆刪除無計。無甚麽制度，都有利弊。無得再上訴。
刪除很難明白有什麼理由要恩恤這個禽獸。兩年後他病情惡化，在獄中也可以申請假釋。
回覆刪除避免他在獄中病死，唯一的好處是免得召開死因研訊，浪費警察、懲教署和死因裁判法庭的時間精力。
I think his appeal should not be allowed. In fact, I think he should be given the maximum sentence.
回覆刪除Maximum will not be possible. I think HH Yiu passed an appropriate sentence and should not be tampered with.
刪除其實連服刑都免了, 因為一定是住醫院或者病床的.
回覆刪除In the judgment, the daughter she has been raped many times. I wonder if the prosecution did not press charge of rape because the of the probability of winning the case. Indeed, if that guy did try many times to penetrate her daughter, it is unbelivable that he would give up and the happening of rape is just a matter of time
