The mainland trial of 10 men who were allegedly part of a plot to shoot democracy activist Martin Lee and media mogul Jimmy Lai has ended after just one day. The court in Shenzhen adjourned its verdict to a later date. Two alleged masterminds of the plot have pleaded not guilty to attempted murder, while the rest of the suspects have admitted charges of attempted wounding. Earlier this month, the suspected gunman was sentenced to 16 years in prison in Hong Kong.
