		Specifically, the Department of Justice feels that the sentences of 240 hours of community service for Tse and six months in jail for Lau are too light when compared to the four months in jail Shing Kwok-Ting received after pleading guilty and co-operating with authorities.
		Citing the fact that Hong Kong citizens are already questioning the legitimacy of the legal system, some legal experts contend that it is "highly unusual" for an offender who pleads guilty and co-operates with authorities (Shing) to receive a harsher sentence than an offender who was convicted at trial (Tse).
