1. The defendant was originally charged with one count of robbery. He pleaded not guilty to the charge. The victim PW1 Wong gave evidence in chief and before PW1 was being cross-examined, the prosecution sought further instruction from DoJ. Eventually, the charge was amended to one of theft. No objection was raised by the defence and I granted leave for such an amendment.
