It,s just been on C3 that they have found the lawyer and 2 of his staff guilty of the bribe.

Sentencing them to a term in jail, but no details on this as of yet.

Supreme Court sentences lawyer of Thaksin to 6 months in jail

Supreme Court on Wednesday sentenced each to six months in jail a lawyer and legal clerks of ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra for violating court's authority in connection with the case that a court official received a pastry box filled with Bt2 million in cash.

The court ruled that Lawyer Pichit Chuenban, and Thana Tansiri, one of the legal clerk, and another one whose name is not known, for violating court's authority.

Unquote

Of course the usual bail and never serving the time is a very good possiblity.

They join a long, long, list of bailed " Puyai " convicted criminals who will never serve their sentences that where handed down to them.

I should imagine in the above case all 3 convicted of the crime will be bailed ???? Irrespective of their station in life.

For F**** sake WHY does such one sided justice still exist ????

Yes, don,t tell me, i know, but it still doesn,t ease my frustrations.

What exact positions do they hold relative to Thaksin? ie is there an official statement that links Thaksin and these lawyers? Is there a court document mentioning their connection with Thaksin? I would like to see in what capacity they have represented Thaksin in previous dealings!
