car720 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I see a new method for the culling system. We use these guys to cull the kangaroos and when they are done we get the crocodiles to cull them. Then all we have to do is cull the crocs and export the skins to Thailand. Win, win, all around.

Being somewhat skeptical it makes me wonder if this opens the door to reduced sentences as well. Sure seems like there is another agenda here when 100+ years of accumulative jail time in a Thai prison is "not harsh enough".

TKDfella Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Yes, they are now convicts. However, what I'm wondering is that if the family's lawyer does appeal is there a chance the appeal court would lessen the jail term? Is that possible?

holy cow cm Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Should be the police dad and mom to be responsible for bad parenting. All too common for police kids and the ones of the wealthy. Where is setting a good example? We can obviously see the bad ones. Not that the two P's heading this country are setting good ones. Only do as I say, not as I do or have done big in the past.

NeilSA1 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Anantachai Chaiyadej, who represents the victim’s family, is obviously very good at his job and really deserves future business from those of us that need a good lawyer.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Don't forget: there will inevitably be appeals to higher courts, including apparently (from the OP news report) from the victim's family seeking stiffer sentences. Once that starts happening, in Thailand, the results can go in any direction. Convictions become acquittals. Stiff sentences get reduced, etc etc. Especially when connected parties are involved. Don't make final judgments/assumptions about the outcome of this case until it's really done. And then, further down the road, of course, there's the inevitable sentence reductions and commutations based on the annual judgments that come down from on high.
