A netizen launched a demonstration on October 13 last year in the "Eighteen Districts Blooming". A 16-year-old middle school student was charged with criminal damage and other charges of throwing a hard object at a police car. He pleaded guilty earlier and was sentenced in Kwun Tong Court today (23rd).
Magistrate Xu Qiwei pointed out that the defendant’s behavior on that day may worsen the situation on the scene and may also cause injuries to the police. Although the defendant confessed his guilt, his remorse was insufficient and believed that he needed to accept a greater impact to get back on track. Therefore, he refused to impose a probation order and ordered the defendant to serve his sentence in a rehabilitation center.
The defendant was 16-year-old Liang, a student, and pleaded guilty to four counts, including one of possession of an offensive weapon with intent, one crime of criminal damage, illegal assembly, and use of masked objects while in an illegal assembly.
Family members and teachers all call them good students
The defense quoted the probation report, the Correctional Services Department report, and the Juvenile Delinquency Commission's assessment during the plea, saying that the defendant had a rough background. His family and teachers all described him as a good student. The defendant did not have any bad habits. "The background is clean, good. obedient".
In addition, the defendant has been remanded for three weeks and has received great lessons. Therefore, it is hoped that the court can sentence the defendant to a non-custodial penalty or update the center.
Believe that the defendant is a good young man but lacks regret
When Xu Guan was sentenced, he said that 40 to 50 masked demonstrators gathered at the scene on the day of the case and committed acts of road and shop vandalism.
The defendant threw a hard object at the police car may aggravate the scene and endanger the safety of police officers. The defendant also participated in a violent and illegal assembly that day. In order to show the seriousness of the crime, he needed to be sentenced to a deterrent penalty, so he refused to impose a probation order.
Xu Guanxu quoted the report as saying that the defendant was pure and not a deep-rooted criminal. Although he was a good young man, he had insufficient remorse and needed a greater impact before he could get back on track. Therefore, he was sentenced to enter the renewal center.
