She must have known what her boyfriend was upto and what work was she doing? Seems odd that the appeal court will not allow any new evidence to be considered. So even if there is video evidence of her boyfriend forging her signature when accepting the package, that proves her innocence beyond doubt, only the original evidence will be looked at. You've not heard the thousands of stories of partners leading secret lives on the side, be it drugs or just cheating? I am not a lawbreaker, nor a cheater, but there are certain elements of my personal finances that I would not discuss with a girlfriend, or a wife. Lots of good reasons for that. I just think it's probably a sad case of misplaced trust or stupidity with tragic results, but that's only my guess, since no one actually knows except her and her ex.

Dogmatix Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Hard to say how much, if anything, she knew about the bf’s drug smuggling enterprise from the information available. Maybe she knew something because it had been going on for a while but maybe not. Thai courts anyway still happy to convict on confessions suspects can’t read extracted under torture or duress after the 2B case. The bf knew the scheme was blown after the package was found at the school and the other teacher implicated, although his case was whitewashed to save school reputation which is now in tatters anyway. The police must have known Ashley was the gf of Nettles and that the biscuit shop was his. He continued with the scheme trying to scrape the last bucks out of it, putting her at risk, knowing the cops were in to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since news of Ashley’s imprisonment broke, her mother, Lynn Blignaut, said messages of support and encouragement had been flowing in. “Everybody has been amazing with their support and their messages of encouragement. I stand in awe to see all the positive reactions, it shows that so many people actually really do care,” she said. The drug users care...and are sending messages of support. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dogmatix Posted February 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2022 Stickboy, if he still exists, took down the article posted when she was first arrested which alleged police found 4 other boxes similar to the offending package at her residence. Obviously police got her to sign a confession that she knowingly participated in the drug smuggling and dealing. We have no means of knowing where the truth lies. Could’ve been involved or may be a completely innocent victim of somewhere in between. She doesn’t seem to have profited financially at all from the drug dealing but unfortunately for her became besotted with a total dirt bag who, some say was known, at least to others, as the party drug dealer in Samui. Did he twist her arm to help him out, knowing she was too starry eyed to refuse. Who knows? Drug dealing in Samui and the islands is the turf of local police and their proxy gangs, as is the smuggling of liquor and other criminal activities. Dirt Bag Nettles claims in his twisted narcissistic narrative that he undercut prices and sold much purer dope. This would have brought his network to the attention of the cops. They eventually seem to have caught up with his accomplice at the school after the package was found in the school mail room and the police were called. He may have blown the whole thing in exchange for being let off the hook by arrangement of the school owner trying to keep the school out of the limelight. So the police were probably watching Ashley at the Hot Biscuit and watching packages that came through the mail addressed to the biscuit. This one probably didn’t need a signature, as why would you pay extra for Royal Mail signature required when you use a false addressee to send illicit substances. But the cops staged the delivery and told the possibly fake postman to be sure to get her signature as evidence. So police were amenable to keeping the school out of the story as long as they got a nice bust resulting in a death sentence for their records and put an end to the competition. The death sentence seems to have been because it was a class 1 drug and 250gm is apparently a large quantity of that stuff which I had never heard of before - enough for 4,000 doses. Plus there was evidence presented by prosecutors, whether true or false, of prior shipments and willful involvement and of course the confession. The Samui court has a record of disregarding retractions of confessions made under duress by foreigners with no knowledge of Thai, as in the case of the 2B. Anyway it is not clear that she retracted the confession. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dogmatix Posted February 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2022 Tanyawadeee school seems not to do due diligence on foreign teachers as they hired Nettles with a criminal record in the US. Demanding home country police clearance would have avoided that. The kindergarten was also happy to hire a 19 year old girl with no qualifications as a teacher. Parents take note. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a low level dealer, selling to expats. She was a party girl who liked to partake. He was a big fish in a small pond. He only makes money if people know he's the man.

The sentence was for importing a sizeable quantity of a class 1 drug. Perhaps she got the death penalty at first because she withdrew her confession and plead not guilty. A guilty plea, confession and cooperation would normally only get the death penalty in an heinous crime where the suspect’s cooperation was of no use. No information is provided about the trial, the charges or defense, if she pleaded not guilty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
