http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/S...ory_645288.html AN AUSTRALIAN had his three-week jail term for being unfit to drive set aside, after the High Court found it 'troubling' that he was convicted on an amended charge without being given the opportunity to defend himself. Justice Steven Chong said the non-compliance with the Criminal Procedure Code was particularly serious in this case, as the prosecution had not produced evidence to support the amended charge. On June 23, 2008, John Peter Worrall, 60, the vice-president of oil company Swiber Offshore Construction, was driving home to his Bayshore condominium in East Coast at 11pm, after meeting colleagues at Harry's Bar in Far East Shopping Centre. His car went up a kerb and hit a tree along Bayshore Road. He was later arrested for drink-driving. After an eight-day trial that ended in August last year, he was convicted not of drink-driving, but of being unfit to drive. He was also convicted of not exercising due care and attention while driving, causing the accident - a charge he faced originally in addition to the drink-driving one. He was sentenced to three weeks' jail and fined $6,000, and was disqualified from driving for four years on the first conviction, and fined $800 and given a four-month driving ban on the second.
