JLCrab Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Koh Tao murder trial has begun in courtroom 6 of Koh Samui court. Accused Zaw Lin/Wai Phyo and relatives of the deceased are all present https://twitter.com/atomicalandy good -- so it looks like AndyH is allowed to send messages live from within the courtroom. yep, looks that way, lets hope they let him carry on, he's still sending so it looking good This being Thailand, maybe just about everyone in the Courtroom is staring into their smart phone for one reason or another.

Sooo Upto Me Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Yes we know the trial has started, its been on the thai news. So all u amateur Sherlock Holmes out there can stop bickering with each other trying to prove a point. As if u are part of this case. Just go and prop urself up on ur bar stool and let the proffessionals do their work. Ive never seen so much childish behaviour from some of u tv members about this thread than any other that i have followed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLCrab Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 It also looks like Reuters has a reporter live in the Courtroom. From their report: "The first witness called by the prosecution was Police Lieutenant Jakkapan Kaewkao, the second police officer at the scene, who said Miller and Witheridge were found 12 metres apart on the beach and described injuries on their bodies.: http://uk.mobile.reuters.com/article/idUKKCN0PI03H20150708?irpc=932 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 It would take a very brave person to plead not guilty,EVEN if they were innocent,as it seems in a Thai court you are presumed guilty and have to prove your innocence,if you are found guilty you have to serve the full sentence handed out by the judge,while if you plead guilty your sentence is halved,that seems to be the incentive to plead guilty,and bring trials to a quick conclusion. regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
