According to Brad Smith, a federal Crown lawyer, this is the longest jail term ever given for this type of offence.Crown asked for six years for Ngai, who was found guilty of conspiracy to commit an indictable offence and production of a controlled substance, but the judge sentenced him to five years.Similarly for Fung and Chan, the judge gave sentences of one year less than the five years that Crown asked for.
