5. Nature of the Evidence

A major portion of the evidence may be divided into two

groups, one supporting LEUNG Wing-sang's case and the

other supporting the case for the Police and LAU Cheong-wah.

One Common feature of both groups of evidence is the

abundance of half-truths, inconsistencies, improbabilities,

embellishments and obvious lies. Using the criterion of

a reasonably intelligent person with common sense and a

knowledge of local conditions, the essential facts may

still be extracted from the evidence. These facts may

now be stated with a considerable degree of confidence.
