An American corporate lawyer who was deported from Hong Kong after serving prison time for assaulting a plainclothes police officer during the 2019 protests said he has applied to the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal to continue challenging his conviction.
Samuel Phillip Bickett, 38, a former compliance director at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, was charged with “assaulting a police officer” during the Anti-Extradition Law Movement in 2019 and was sentenced to four and a half months in prison.
