Don't know specifically about KWC but there are LOADS of older buildings in Hong Kong with elevators like that.

Even the main backpacker dive, this rambling warren called chunking mansions, has lifts like this. There are loads of sets of them all over the massive open plan ground floor. Its makes getting back to your tiny hostel when drunk a challenge.

God I loved Hong Kong. It is my favourite place I have ever been in the whole world.

I need to know if my fan fiction is accurate.

That sounds of dubious legality...

Not given they used a gun. Just possessing a gun in England is a 5 year automatic sentence, with rare exceptions made.

Shooting someone during a robbery, and causing grievous injury would have been a very automatic sentence.

Moreover guilty pleas give you about a 10% discount, nothing like the orders of magnitude you see in the US.

Absolutely England and Wales has more lenient sentences but a) Gun crime is pursued incredibly heavily, and b) sentences vary a lot less due to less prosecutorial discretion.

Couldn't as in you never found out, couldn't the result was unclear, or couldn't you feel you should protect confidence?

Excellent point! I was careless there and using gun in lieu of handgun, which is of course wrong.

That said, a crime committed even with a legally owned gun still faces particularly severe legal sanction compared to the severity of sentencing generally.
