In space, no one hears you scream.

That Miller chap is inhabiting a fantasy world in which he is acting out a role, the script for which is the product of his own daft illusions and misconceptions.

There is not a shred of significant evidence adduced in that court that would have been admissible in any court in the western world other than the testimony of Phornthip in relation to the murder implement.

The brother was played like a guitar.

Must have been several high ranking folks that cleverly knew that, played the fact gently and got him on side.

They did a very good job judging by his statement.

These are the fellas that killed or were close to them that did.

they're good at that. in the end they believe their own shit.
go off and make merit.
some dirty bastards about, corrupt to the bone.
all that hand waiing to show how holy they really are. aren't.
Thai tourist authority( err mafia) win again.

I think some of you guys need to walk a mile in the brothers shoes.

If the court did not convict the Burmese guys the family would of been totally gutted.

I mean, they had nothing else and I find it easy to see how they found no fault in the conviction.

I'm not saying it was right or wrong but I can feel the family's pain on this one.

This case will disappear same as this thread, same as all other Thailand murders.

Normal stuff for Thailand.

The human brain also clings to the narratives that hurt the least. You'd imagine that some people simply wanted the official story to be the true one as the alternative is so painful to consider, that that there was this huge mechanism in motion involving so many people with one purpose, to rob you and your family of justice.

You're kidding right? You're comfortable with two innocent guys hanging because the family of the victims a murder would have been gutted otherwise!!
WTF?
Fuck them.
What about the family of the two innocent guys?
Imagine the angst and horror and misery of their mums and dads when their beautiful boys die for nothing.
Christ terry you fucking wanker you need a checkup from the neck up sometimes.

so who did it ?

^ depends who's truth you want, Thai truth or the truth.

Ok the Thai judicial truth:
'Evidence':
2 illegal immigrants (several years) who cannot be arsed to learn to speak Thai,
CCTV places them near the beach , their litter on the beach, admitted to going to the beach, admitted to being legless and claimed to have having no memory of the night , DNA matches (samples used up) , confession ( retracted)
Thai verdict: guilty
Your verdict : not guilty

PC media version:
'Evidence':
The islands run by mafia so any crime must be done by them
A blurry video of a guy running, with his arm held in a certain way- with matches one photo frame of a mini mafia junior walking in the same manor...
A rumour of an face losing argument in the AC bar .
They are poor little immigrants incapable of crime.
The islands run by mafia so any crime must be done by them.. etc

Your verdict : guilty !
It seems you lot can see the flaws in Thai judicial system but have even lower standard for conviction yourself .

Most of the islanders are in on it , as in - could not care less
( the few exceptions being locals who kindly placed flowers near the murder scene)
so I'm just glad they got two of them .

I expect this guy knows more about it than any of us keyboard warriors.

Interesting.

His name is familiar, so I looked him up. It seems he's no stranger to adversity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sondhi_Limthongkul

"Days after the Bangkok unrest was quelled by military force, gunmen ambushed Sondhi's car at a petrol station. They shot out the tires, and fired over 100 M-16 and AK-47 assault rifle rounds at the car. The attackers escaped from the scene when Sondhi's followers in another car opened fire on them. Sondhi suffered a serious head wound but remained conscious, standing and lucid before being sent to a hospital for emergency surgery. Sondhi survived the surgery, which involved removing several bullet fragments embedded about half a centimetre deep in his skull. It is not certain who was behind the shooting, though Sondhi's son and PAD's spokesmen speculated that a faction of the military or police might have been behind it."

True: The Police in Thailand can make an arrest without physical evidence.

True: The Prosecutor in Thailand can get a conviction without physical evidence.

True , Blue. Let's hope it never happens to you.

I understand that there are many nations around the world with this same working mentality of justice.
Unfortunately or fortunately , many of us have chosen to live in LOS and we can rail against the system and perceived injustice as opposed to living in those other countries where we would be arrested for railing against the system and perceived injustice.

From "envoy accepts" to "envoy calls for review", in one day...

You certainly cannot rail against the courts in Thailand. It is illegal to criticise the verdict of a Thai court.

Two Myanmar convicts moved from Samui prison to Nakhon Si Thammarat prison


The Nation December 26, 2015 3:20 pm

Prison officials moved two Myanmar men who were convicted in murdering two British tourist on Koh Tao from the Samui prison to the maximum security prison in Nakhon Si Thammarat early Saturday.

Zaw Lin and Win Zaw Htun were transferred to the Nakhon Si Thammarat prison at 4 am.

Are you seriously saying you had to look up who Sondhi is?? That lying, murdering sack of shit is probably one of the most well-known people in Thailand.

The name rang a bell, but I've never followed Thai politics. And I'm not living in Thailand any more. I'm happily dwelling in Australia with my Thai wife.

So the verdict affirms that two small and quite drunk young Burmese guys were able to somehow overpower and kill (after a struggle) a bigger young Caucasian. And despite the well-known effects of alcohol (in Oz we call it "brewer's droop"), at least one was able to orgasm inside her.

Right.

Right.

It does indeed. And as we are not allowed to do anything other than praise the awesome wisdom of the Thai judiciary I'll say no more except to say that the words "corrupt, evil, murdering fuckwads" are words we have in the English language.

Why are you surprised at that? Consider the source.

Truth as a concept is incidental to their society and quite unnecessary to governance. Occasionally, it can be burnished but only when it coincides with other factors and expedience does not suffer.

Frankly, it's the Asian way and anyone choosing to pitch their camp here should never forget it.

My beef is with westerners who lug their western baggage around with them and attempt to draw parallels where none exist.

Tax, it's in Thai. Kindly illustrate your opinion by giving a vivid snapshot of his views in English.
