Jimmy Lai, founder of Next Digital, along with three related companies of Apple Daily, are charged with “conspiracy to collude with foreign forces” among other offenses. The prosecution had previously completed presenting their evidence, and on Wednesday (24th), the 91st day of the trial began at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts (acting as the High Court), where mid-trial submissions were made by both sides. On Thursday (25th), the judge will determine whether the prima facie case is established, deciding whether the defense needs to respond.
