Jimmy Lai, founder of Next Digital and three Apple Daily companies, is charged with “conspiracy to collude with foreign forces” among other charges. The prosecution previously completed its presentation of evidence, and both sides have made their interim submissions. On Thursday, the 92nd day of the trial at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts (acting as the High Court), the three judges ruled that all charges against Lai were substantiated. Following consultation, the defense indicated that Lai intends to testify and plans to call an expert on Signal. The case has been adjourned to November 20 for further proceedings.
