[KiniNews] Sam Ke Ting has cleared the first hurdle to appeal against her six-year jail sentence and RM6,000 fine for reckless driving that killed eight teen cyclists in Johor in 2017.
The clerk also gets to stay out of custody pending the disposal of her appeal.
A three-person Court of Appeal bench unanimously allowed the 27-year-old’s leave to appeal during open-court proceedings this morning.
When met by the media after proceedings this morning, defence counsel Muhammad Faizal Mokhtar said his client has been treated well while in prison in Johor and she expressed her gratitude to concerned members of the public.
The lawyer said Sam, however, is disappointed with the criticism hurled against the judiciary when her acquittal was overturned.
