HKSAR v Jack Chen Keen, Hao May (fka Wang May Yan) & Eric Yee Wenjye
HK Court of First Instance, 18-Jun-2021
The jury in this retrial is discharged on day 57 after a prosecution witness, Kerry Joel Knight, himself a New Zealand barrister, blurted out that Hao May had told him that she had previously been convicted and served jail time. The jury wasn't supposed to know that, although we note that the original trial and the successful final appeal was in the public domain.
