I can only imagine what a Thai prison has got to be like. If ya cant to the time don't do the crime, very wise saying! My Brother-in -law works in a Fed Max Security Prison in Washington State four days on four days off - he comes home and has to take liquid THC so he can be normal again.............he retired after twenty years from the US Navy at 38, got his 'dream job' and now at 52, he looks like he is 75...........wouldn't have his life for love nor money.............I'd make my kids find a job before I'd do that to myself.

Very stupid small minded man, he should of moved on rather than be in an obsessive relationship. Sentence halved from 16 years, could be because of some influence or information leading to influence. Either way a stupid way to learn Thai in the BK Hilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney earl Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 As far as I am concerned he killed another human being and should have got the death penalty. If he serves his full term he will be out of jail when he is 44 and his victim is no longer alive. It is not fair. The law has not just got to be done, it has got to be seen to be done and it does not in this case.!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyh Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Only eight years for killing another human? This sentence most certainly does not fit the crime. However, it does indicate that murder is not a capital crime here ........ evidently loss of life due to a premeditated vicious act does not warrant a life sentence. Thailand certainly has a lot to gain by making crimes of this nature a capital crime which deserves a life sentence ........ they would be viewed by the rest of the world as a country with zero tolerance for murder. Perhaps it would also go some way to "reign in" all the "hotheads" that reside here too & make them think twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it brings back the deceased. We just get two corpses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is no way of determining if the evidence was incontrovertible in the eyes of the court as when a guilty plea is entered no evidence will be submitted by the prosecution. It's irellevant - the thai system is not understandable and just doesnt make sence when scamming seems to be worse than killing, when driving without a helmet are threated equal as attacking others in public with a sword (500thb), when the reaction over a teacher's twitter message are seen as worse than when a teacher's are getting caught red handed for abusing children - and the list goes on....
