It's the same in Hong Kong, since they're still using British law and judges. That's why I said "Justice depends very much on the character of the judge and the jury." Some judges are more lenient, while others are harsh, and very often the lawyer of the defendent would prefer an all-male or all-female jury, hoping it would be in favour of the defendent.
