The Region 9 chief judge, who was accused of interfering in a murder trial over which Yala provincial court chief judge Mr. Khanakorn Pianchana presided, has expressed his regret over the judge’s self-inflicted gunshot wound, but denied that there was any interference.

 

The Office of the Judicial Affairs secretary-general Saravuth Benjakul said, via the office’s Facebook page, that he had spoken with the Region 9 chief judge, whose name was not disclosed, who maintained that he merely performed his duty in accordance with regulations and had no intention of interfering with the work of Mr. Khanakorn as alleged.

 

The regional chief judge, however, admitted that he had raised an objection to Mr. Khanakorn’s decision in the case, in the interests of justice, but he did not change or amend the verdict, said Mr. Saravuth.

yeah right   !  ….  this story has more holes in it than swiss cheese.   I'm calling this BS.

So the chief judge expects people to believe him, when he refutes the accusation of interference... Humbug.????

Maybe as fake as his hair!

Looks like a Benny Hill character. Oops! Can I be done for slander?

I meant by Benny Hill.

What does that even mean 'in the interests of justice'? Is he implying the judge who shot himself was going to hand down a verdict that was anything less than 'in the interests of justice'? If that were the case, why didn't this big judge have him investigated?
