Jurors in the trial of Hong Kong billionaire brothers Thomas and Raymond Kwok started deciding if the Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd. co-chairmen conspired to bribe the city’s former No. 2 official.
“There must necessarily be discussion and debate,” Judge Andrew Macrae told the jury of six women and three men earlier today in Hong Kong after concluding his summary of the 127-day trial. The jurors retired for the night after deliberating for nine hours and will resume tomorrow. At least seven of the jurors have to be in agreement to reach a verdict.
