Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai cleared of threatening reporter from rival Hong Kong newspaper at June 4 vigil
- Magistrate May Chung rules Oriental Daily reporter confronted by Lai was dishonest in testimony, not truly frightened by media mogul’s outburst
- ‘It appeared [the reporter] was treating it as a joke, or even mocking [Lai]. A person who’s just been alarmed by a threat would not act in this way,’ she says
