My general impression about sentence of rape is similar to manslaughter, 4 to 5 years is a norm on person with untarnished character. I read in one case last week the deft's attempted rape sentence of 8 years was upheld on appeal since he has similar conviction records. Sexual intercourse with girl under 16 has a wider sentencing pattern. If the deft is also young or more or less of the same age, a lenient sentence can be expected. If the deft is an adult, he will go to jail without doubt but still the incarceration will not be long. <br /><br />I remember some of the facts of the case but not as detail as you have written. That is why I asked whether you were in court. I do not normally see verbatim report of cross-examination except in appeal judgment.<br /><br />Keep up the good writing young man.<br /><br />Bill標少https://www.blogger.com/profile/09140798187543833983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28363042.post-79327029824456750002012-01-11T15:40:51.846+08:002012-01-11T15:40:51.846+08:00Hi Bill,
Of course, i am looking at everything i...Hi Bill, <br /><br />Of course, i am looking at everything in the court from a very layman and amateurish point of view. beside, i am not so sure that sentencing guideline that the court may have for rape and underage sexual intercourse. <br /><br />Those are the observation I made while attending the hearing and trial and unfortunately I can't find any news source that give an overall report. you may wish to have a look here: http://hk.news.yahoo.com/fb%E8%BC%AA%E5%A7%A6%E6%A1%88-%E9%A6%96%E8%A2%AB%E5%91%8A%E7%88%86%E5%90%8C%E4%BC%B4%E5%A4%BE%E5%8F%A3%E4%BE%9B-211658426.html<br /><br />WilliamTso Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379025412305371728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28363042.post-17541524588875413582012-01-10T18:49:20.529+08:002012-01-10T18:49:20.529+08:00William,

The defts obviously will shift the blame to others to alleviate their guilt and involvement.<br /><br />Your use of "life and death" to describe the like result is exaggerated. The sentence is normally in the region of 5 years. I am unable to read the Apple Daily following your link. So I am not sure if you were in court or just reading from the news report when you made the observation.<br /><br />Bill標少https://www.blogger.com/profile/09140798187543833983noreply@blogger.com
