100. D10 is convicted after trial. We have considered all the mitigations put forward by Mr Cheung on her behalf. We grant her a 3-month deduction for her possible mistake as to the lawfulness of the Scheme. We have also taken into account the mitigating letters written by D10, her father, colleagues and friends and her public service. In view of her public service as a District Councillor as well as her contribution to local cultural polices and charitable works, we grant her an additional 3 months reduction.
