Yes we all knew this.

 

Just what does TV hope to achieve by pestering his place of work?

Surprised that in light of the University not allowing contact the media would be camped outside his home !

I would think that Mr Armitage as a British expat for more than 10 years in Thailand is a member here on Thaivisa ? 

 

It would be interesting to hear his side of the story, but so far he has kept his mouth shut. 

 

If I was completely innocent I would have had no problems with being interviewed by Thaivisa or any local media.

Mr Armitage has already given his side of the story and that has been widely reported, what do you expect from him, a different story just for Thaivisa members so they can launch their Koh Tao-like investigation?

 

"If I was completely innocent I would have had no problems with being interviewed by Thaivisa or any local media".

As someone who is not being treated as having acted suspiciously by Thaivisa members that's easy for you to say!  I'd imagine that in the same position as Mr Armitage your lawyer wouldn't agree with your decision either.

I agree with many here. Leave the chap alone. I have no doubt that the English police will investigate and approach him/request an interview if they think it is necessary. Naturally the dead lady's parents will have concerns. I would hope the English police realise this and liaise with the Thai authorities in the event they establish anything.

Likewise, if you killed your Wife , you wouldnt report her as being missing , 

You may very well do ,and murderers have, in the absence of any credible alternative story to deflect suspicion . The point is it is a reasonable defence as to why you didn’t report her missing., She said she was leaving me for another and to return to her own country and I’ve not heard from her since.

Just leave the guy alone, leave it to the authorities to interview him, I would have thought the University may have suspended him until all enquirers are complete, just as a precaution.

 

 

They'd have to pay him- wouldn't do that under any circumstances.

Do you not think the interests of the students should come first?

I realize the risk is low but is it a risk any sane person would take?

I guess an innocent person would say exactly what he's already said.  What else is he supposed to say?

 

The moment you start talking to the media you've put one foot in quicksand- the more you move the quicker you go go down, and there's no way out.

 

He could be lying of course- we don't know.

I would advise him not to, if he does post here anything he says maybe be used as evidence against him.

I merely said that they wouldn't do it.

 

What I think about that is immaterial.

Yep,  the UK police will refuse all help unless they get it in writing their is no chance of the death penalty 

I think if Mr Armatage is tried for murder the trial should be held in the UK, probably Manchester or Preston Crown Courts near to where the body was found because British jurors could understand picture more the evidence and if appropriate they could be taken to places of interest relating to the evidence. try describing a cold boggy more to a Thai...

What importance- if any- do you place on evidence?  

 

What is your understanding of the phrase- 'beyond all reasonable doubt'?

Important enough that that the jurors should be able to understand all the evidence in it's entirety, that the prosecution should make the case and the defence must changeling it where possible even going as far as putting hypothetical scenarios to the jury however unrealistic, I would imagine all jurors are instructed on the meaning of "Beyond all reasonable doubt".

 

Wonder if if any one has done Jury service and ca tell us what the were instructed in regards to the phrase "Beyond all reasonable doubt"?   

 

Edit in:

Seems things are different now:

Quote

However, juries in criminal courts in England are no longer customarily directed to consider whether there is "reasonable doubt" about a defendant's guilt. Indeed, a 2008 conviction was appealed after the judge had said to the jury "You must be satisfied of guilt beyond all reasonable doubt." The conviction was upheld but the Appeal Court made clear their unhappiness with the judge's remark, indicating that the judge should instead have said to the jury simply that before they can return a verdict of guilty, they "must be sure that the defendant is guilty
