Home Secretary objects to Yardley kickboxer Lee Aldhouse's Thailand extradition appeal
THE Home Secretary has launched a bid to stop a Birmingham murder suspect appealing against his extradition to Thailand.
Kickboxer Lee Aldhouse, from Yardley, is wanted to stand trial over the death of former US Marine Deshawn Longfellow following a bar room brawl in Phuket in August last year.
The 27-year-old wants to appeal his extradition on the grounds that conditions in Thailand’s notorious jails would violate his human rights.
But, in a case described as “Kafkaesque” by a judge, Home Secretary Theresa May is trying to stop him challenging the decision.
She claims the Home Office was not correctly notified of his appeal against the Thai government’s extradition request.
Clair Dobbin, for Mrs May, told London’s High Court that Mr Aldhouse only sent a letter to the government department, rather than the full legal papers necessary for “administrative efficiency”.
Joseph Middleton, for Mr Aldhouse, said the appeal was against the Thai Government, not the Home Office, and should go ahead.
Senior judge Sir John Thomas said attempts to block the appeal were “Kafkaesque in the extreme”.
“It has nothing to do with the dispute between the parties, it only concerns the administrative convenience of another party,” he said.
Sir John, sitting with Mr Justice Ouseley, reserved judgement on whether the appeal should be heard.
Thai police launched a search for Mr Aldhouse after Mr Longfellow was found with stab wounds to his chest.
Prosecutors in the country claim Mr Aldhouse, an unemployed ex-bus driver known as The Pitbull on the kickboxing circuit, rowed with Mr Longfellow in a nightspot called The Freedom Bar.
Mr Aldhouse was arrested on his return to Britain a month later. He has argued his extradition should be blocked because conditions in Thai jails breach article three of the Human Rights Convention, which prohibits “inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment”.
"Slavery is the daughter of darkness; an ignorant people is the blind instrument of its own destruction; ambition and intrigue take advantage of the credulity and inexperience of men who have no political, economic or civil knowledge. They mistake pure illusion for reality, license for freedom, treason for patriotism, vengeance for justice."-Simón Bolívar

If the Home Secretary believes an appeal has been improperly applied for and then is time barred, she is correct to object to a very expensive appeal procedure. Save the public purse and send the cowardly scumbag to his fate i say. Notwithstanding the fact i am no lawyer.
It may be just a case of simplistic reporting but I am surprised the grounds for the appeal do not include the reasonable argument that Aldhouse would be unlikely to receive a fair trial in Thailand if returned there. Still, from the judge's comments it seems he will have his appeal.
That May woman is clearly suffering from some sort of hormone deficiency.
Yardley kickboxer Lee Aldhouse wins the right to appeal over extradition to Thailand on murder claim

A BIRMINGHAM kickboxer has won the right to appeal his extradition to Thailand where he stands accused of stabbing a former US Marine to death.
Lee Aldhouse, aged 27, of Yardley, faces a murder charge in south-east Asia after an alleged bar room brawl with ex-serviceman Deshawn Longfellow last August.
Despite Home Secretary Theresa May claiming he had forfeited his right to appeal his extradition, two senior judges ruled his complaints were “far from frivolous” and allowed him to press ahead with his High Court challenge.
Mr Aldhouse became the subject of an international search after the body of 23-year-old Mr Longfellow was found with stab wounds to his chest at a tropical resort in Phuket.
Prosecutors in Thailand have claimed Mr Aldhouse, known as The Pitbull on the kickboxing circuit, had been in a fracas with Mr Longfellow in a nightspot called The Freedom Bar shortly before his death.
The Thai government requested his extradition so he could stand trial on a murder charge and he was later told he would not face the death penalty if found guilty.
However, Mr Aldhouse has argued his extradition should be blocked because conditions in Thai jails breach Article 3 of the Human Rights Convention, which prohibits “inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment”.
In a development described as “Kafkaesque” by a senior judge, Mrs May claimed he should not be allowed to appeal because he had failed to correctly inform the Home Office of his ongoing legal battle.
Mr Justice Ouseley, sitting with Sir John Thomas, found the Home Secretary’s administrative objections should not get in the way of Mr Aldhouse’s appeal.
“Whichever way the issue might go, it is far from a frivolous one”, ruled the judge, who added: “The issues are of sufficient importance and arguability for it to be only just that the appeal be heard.
“Accordingly, we find against the Government of Thailand and Home Secretary on this preliminary issue.” No date was set for the full hearing of Mr Aldhouse’s appeal.

Half (90+% maybe??) of these guys that come back from America's illegal wars are phuked up mentaly. They are being trained to kill civilian men, women and children, but aren't trained how to act normaly after they get home. I suppose such training (to forget) isn't possible. All of the armys that still call America an ally get this sort of training as well. Well, most anyway -to one degree or another.Originally Posted by StrontiumDog
