They may not be innocents abroad, but I don't think brown envelopes were involved.

Ahh, the wheels of justice turn round and round

I think it was very much a case of private diplomatic talks high up the chain with the powers that be in Thailand and nothing to do with brown envelopes.

 

It was clear early on he was just a ' patsy '

What? No mention of Cook's Thai partner Ms. Kanyarat Wediphitak who was locked up too?

 

If you read the the full story about this debacle you can see how the Thai Prosecutors were just looking for a check in their win column and fabricated their whole case on horse manure!

Not sure which one you're referring to but could have been Vatican diplomats going by those middle names.

After 4 and 6 yrs in thai prison , they should have learned their lesson .

Death penalty was a little exaggerated anyway ...

I don't believe that Thailand has ever executed a farang.

On what grounds were they condemned by two or three courts and on what grounds were they released as clearly not guilty or no case.
