I am predicting a sentence of thirty months and a fine of $50,000, for reason of " Seniority ". Senior Lawyer", "Deterrence" " Should have know and been fully aware of the law". His goose is truly cooked. Foie Gras charred with red wine cherry glaze please. The amount for corruption is absolutely small and should be at most be in the region of three or six months, his position however will make it worse.
Just like you unwittingly predicted here: (see post #70
http://sammyboy.com/showthread.php?149890-Looking-beyond-the-persecution-of-Tey-Tsun-Hang/page4) that Peter Low will be acquitted? Where you get all this inside knowledge from? Yes, I agree that after this is obviously kangaroo decision, something needs to be done to redeem the reputation of our courts and this has been carefully orchestrated. Those 2 Fat Cats (Peter & Gay) had obviously offended the establishment too and this is also a way to impoverish them and tarnish their reputation without the need to secure a conviction. Stick in the middle (note the orchestrated timing), the case you really want to FIX and then it is not so obvious. What Najib did was rather clumsy. Let the Anwar case went all the way and then order the court to acquit him, makes the orchestration rather obvious.
Foie Gras? I noticed that you took care to spell it properly this time. Last time, you spelled it “fioe gra”. Didn’t I tell you to use your analogies carefully. Readers may click here to see why Kate Winslet finds the consumption of this delicacy deplorable:

For those from the legal fraternity who’re interested in the rule of law as well as $$$, look around you, see which one of your friends have a fetish for Foie Gras. He/she will be a good suspect for your Locke.
Before I rebutt you on the other points, which I might not have time to do, I cite here again your claim to have ZERO legal training:
I laughed so hard after reading your post and this is not in jest. Firstly any of the old timers who have read my posts, known me, met me would know that I have ZERO legal training. But I am flattered and insulted at the same time for you to think I am part of AGC. Believe me when I say that they are in no way my friends in any way and more probably my enemy. Suffice it to say my lack of ZERO legal training has not stopped me from appreciating how his goose will be cooked or saved and frankly legally it looks like it will be cooked. ... ...
Locke
Whereas this other post clearly shows that you’re from one of the stakeholders in the criminal litigation process (judiciary, prosecutors, defence lawyers) to be privy to what was discussed but not publicised in the lobbying process:
I would like to address your concerns vis sa vis the "springing of statements". The new CPC in place whether one goes through a criminal discovery process or not allows for defence lawyers to have sight of all the statements of the accused. Under the new rules, of discovery, any evidence to be used by the prosecution has to be disclosed at Pre Trial conference. There are however still several areas to be worked on which further lobbying might assist om.
a. Disclosure of key witness statements pre trial, in full and not at the discretion of the prosecution.
b. Recording of accused statements and whether it should be recorded or not and with a lawyer present or not.
Locke
I also provide here the link to one other thread where I’ve asked others to be cautious of Locke & his gibberish:
