He had 4 charges in total, assaulting a cop, incitement of rioting, and 2 charges for rioting.He pleaded guilty for assaulting a cop, apologised, and received a 1 year jail term.He pleaded not guilty for incitement and got cleared on that one.He pleased not guilty to rioting, hence he did not apologise, was found guilty by a jury and received 6 years based on past judgements.Rioting in Hong Kong has harsh punishment. So does growing a Cannabis plant. Don't engage in either.Do I agree someone should be severely punished for growing a cannabis plant? No. Will my believe affect my outcome in a Hong Kong court if found guilty of growing a cannabis plant? No. Thank you.
