ABC journalist Peter Lloyd could face just one year in jail if his trafficking charge is downgraded to possession, a leading Singapore criminal barrister said.Subhas Anandan, who has represented many Westerners on drug charges in the island state, said many of his clients have had their trafficking charges reduced to possession. Lloyd is facing a maximum of 20 years' jail and 15 strokes of the cane on five drug charges.
"He could get about a year if you take the consuming and possessing charges and run them concurrently," Mr Subhas said.
