In his heyday, Dr Wong testified in several seminal court cases as an expert witness, including in the murder trial of Freddy Tan in 1968 which led to the abolition of the jury system.
1. Should the "in" be removed?
2. Should there be a comma after "1968"?
Thanks!
@tanguatlay,
1. Yes
2. No
It's a bit late to remove the word 'in' from The Straits Times publication of June 27 2011. You may wish to consider mentioning that Singapore dispensed with jury trials in 1969 and delete 'in his heyday' if you are intent upon rewriting history or quoting without attribution. While you're about it delete the comma after witness.

A trial - over ownership of a Chancery Hill Road house worth more than $7 million - starts today.
It will pit two sons of once prominent psychiatrist Wong Yip Cheong against his long-time mistress. Dr Wong, 81, now suffers from Alzheimer's disease.
Madam Ling Ai Wah, 60, who lived with Dr Wong for 36 years and bore him a son, stands to own the property upon his death after he signed a document in 2004 making her joint owner.
But his sons Meng Cheong, 54, a neurologist, and Meng Leong, 49, a general practitioner, want the High Court to declare the document void.
In his heyday, Dr Wong testified in several seminal court cases as an expert witness, including in the murder trial of Freddy Tan in 1968 which led to the abolition of the jury system.
Thanks, knaivete, for your effort and time!
