Man convicted in death of US student A 34-year-old Hong Kong businessman has been convicted of dangerous driving causing the death of a 22-year-old American student in Hong Kong. Police say Daniel Sheung Kun-hoo had a blood-alcohol reading three times over the legal limit when he got in his Japanese super car which mowed down the victim last year. Sheung pleaded not guilty to the charge and guilty to two other charges of “using a defective vehicle,” for having both side door glasses and rear windshield tinted, which decreases light transmission and “driving a motor vehicle with an alcohol concentration in breath exceeding the prescribed limit.” A bespectacled Sheung clad in a dark suit stood downcast in the dock as his family sobbed in the public gallery while District Court Judge Stephen Geisner read out the verdict. Sentencing was adjourned to February 18. Sheung faces a maximum fine of HK$50,000 (US$6,438), five years in prison and disqualification from driving for at least two years. < Prev   Next >
