When I asked her if she had ever travelled To Thailand for teaching English. She said no and told me only desperate men travel to Thailand for scoring with girls.

Then she doesn't know anything. Jobs with the top level international schools in Thailand are very well paid.

Frankly, I have no clue whether the young girl has been framed or is someone who made some very bad choices. But the story as told by the mother has more holes than a colander.

That's what some mother's do for their convict daughters.

So she should ring cops and tell them someone sent drugs?

 

Or flush down toilet?

Either one because if she keeps them she looks guilty. But this whole story makes it sound like she only got arrested for signing for a package. I highly doubt it even the Thai courts are not that crazy. As for the confession of the BF that is not really convincing. I mean he can say that from his safe place and so he has nothing to lose.

 

This story has holes in it and without the transcripts of the court case its awfully one sided.

That hardly matters as she, apparently, confessed to trafficking.

What about it?  She pleaded guilty to Class 1 drug trafficking.

I wouldn't have even considered giving her advice.

You are kidding, right?

 

They get paid ok - but most are 100k/mo with some up to 200k

 

My first job here in '98 paid 3x that. Expat-wise, teachers are bottom rung. Not the best skill here.

No I am not kidding and the reason I know is because I worked at such a school. I got more than you are quoting and am nicely set up for a relaxing retirement.

If a family orders a coffee grinder anyone opens it its not a problem. Just common sense

Sorry but it does. Dad can you open the package? I ordered a coffee machine. Ok i will try it.

 

If you think families opening packages is illegal you are sadly mistaken

 

[Sparktrader]

It is only an offence if you open someone else's mail 'without reasonable excuse' or if you 'intend to act to another's detriment

Anna - Hey Sam a package arrived

It works exactly like that all the time...

 

I have things delivered all over and family and friends sign for or open the package to check it. 

 

I commonly have things delivered to my family in the UK (Parents house and sisters house) - they open the item to to check for me that its ok. 

 

Every week my wife orders items to our house. Every week I order items to our house. 

Whoever is in receives the item....  

When I’m away I ask my Wife to open any package delivered to me - she takes a photo of it and sends it to me so I can double check the right item arrived. 

 

 

[unblocktheplanet]

Would YOU not 'confess' to halve your sentence, esp with the death penalty recently employed?!? Thai police are such bulldogs, Thai courts have a 98% conviction rate. Would YOU toss the dice on those odds. She followed her Thai lawyer's advice. Oooh, drugs! The big, bad boogeyman the US created by demand. Precribed pharma, though, booze, well, that's just fine. Poor girl.

 

BTW, it appears the b/f was not the guy on the lease. He was a Yank & he hung her out to dry. Lotta people do far worse things for love.

I don't think the author of this article knows what "matriculate" means.

You chose the wrong calling. Coulda been a cop, a judge or a man of the cloth. Not everything is as black & white as you make out.

Who made you the judge?!? Waddya, some kind of religious, black-or-white, guilty-or-innocent nutjob? Sometimes people are careless or are in the wrong place at the wrong time or make bad friends. Takes a real human to show some compassion for a 22-year old who could be any of our daughters. Shame on you!

Like the Red bull guy could be any of our son. If he were, we would all try to get him off lightly.

please explain what your saying ......   if someone gets involved with drug addicts, users or sellers then they know all to well it's wrong ......  what part don't you understand   ?

Asking your wife to open the package is not remotely the same as someone opening a parcel that randomly arrived address to a person they don't know.

 

Apple and oranges once again.

Hardly the profile of a hardened drug smuggler

...you are right and i agree with you! however nobody becomes "a hardened drug smuggler" just like that, there is always "the first time" and if you are unlucky you get caught

You havnt read the evidence from TV's pinnacles of wisdom and presented above have you?  I'll summarise for you to make it clearer:

 

1.   She should have known better at the ripe old age of 22;

2.  The case involves drugs so she should immediately hang twice without trial;

3.  She shouldnt sign for a parcel knowing 100% it contained drugs even though she     

       worked at a restaurant where parcels would be delivered frequently;

4.  She most definitely knew her bf was a drug dealer, her short relationship is no excuse;

5.  She was a prostitute which automatically makes her evil and guilty;

6.  Her boyfriend comes from Africa so is black therefore obviously a drug dealer and     

       pimp;

7.  If she wasnt a criminal she would be home chained to the kitchen sink wearing a

       French maids outfit.

 

Case closed!

Another web drunkard !
