Hong Kong court under fire after judge's niece walks free
Anthony Yuen
Magistrate Anthony Yuen said Monday he considered her "good background  well-off family (and) outstanding academic achievement" as mitigating factors.  He also noted she suffered from bipolar disorder.
 Yuen's judgment attracted widespread criticism from the public and police  who said the 34-year-old should face harsher punishment.
 But following a review of his own ruling at the government's request  Yuen said Friday it would not change.
 "Had she been a poor Pakistani or Indian teenager in Hong Kong  a jail term would be inevitable. And I have many examples to show you."
