Old Croc Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I stopped drinking in bars years ago. There are too many boorish idiots out there expecially after theyve drunk half the brewery...Wishful thinking on behalf of the courts to fine him over 6m baht. They'll never collect on that deal unless the farang was silly enough to buy property here. (unlikely) He'll only serve about half the sentence and go home. What happened to that other Brit looney Aldhouse who killed the US marine in Phuket? He went to Thai jail and I believe he got transferred to a Brit one later on (but could be mistaken on that) Aldhouse got 25 years and is serving it in a Thai jail.

inzman Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 This sentence makes me very happy to know that some justice has been done. I hope he rots in a Thai jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alration Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 So 6.2M for police and nothing for the family? The 6.2 million is not for the police, it's a fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMS Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Just one question on this matter As he was found not guilty at the first trial did the prosecution bring in extra evidence at their appeal and if so what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't pay the fine his sentence, if his appeal is rejected, will be increased to cover it. Convicts don't get let off fines if they can't afford to pay them.

Alration Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 you take a serial killer as an example while on the other hand there are countless examples of people killing others when drunk. But none for marijuana. Bit bias don't you think. Alcohol is just a dangerous hard drug that is known for causing aggression. Far worse as many other drugs but legal. If pot was allowed and alcohol prohibited world wide we would see a significant drop in violent crime and road deaths. Great suggestion, can't see any problems at all letting high pot-heads behind the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, whilst in another farang murders farang, and is convicted of murder, in Chiang Mai, is not under any media spotlight, the sentence for murder.... 2 1/2 years, he was released and sent back to Aussie after less than 2 years. Pulled out a gun in restaurant along the moat and shot him in the head. In the news, but not main media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alration Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Good to see the harsh fine , just wish the Thai authorities would impliment this across the board. A recent "driver" of a mini bus was fined 7000 baht for dangerous driving leading to multiple deaths....7000 compared to 6.2 million...not quite right! In addition to fines for different offences being limited by statute, courts take intent into consideration when determining fines. There is no similarity between this case and the one you mention, they are not comparable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree fining people has its merits, I would like to know where does the money go? Does it get pumped back into the legal system somehow or goes to something else. Is there any transparency and accountability were the money can be tracked. it maybe a daft question. I am sure there maybe a strong possibility that it goes into a tea fund. Fines of this type go directly to the government through the court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alration Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Mr Pickles is now in a english hospital - STILL in a coma, after all these years. He will never recover. Mr Tinsley needs to spend more than 6 yrs in a Thai prison for what he did. He is no longer in a coma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tinsley needs to spend more than 6 yrs in a Thai prison for what he did. He is no longer in a coma. Mrs Pickles said he was no longer in a coma but he was only able to move his fingers and toes and, sometimes, open his eyes. She said: "We told him the result yesterday and we got a little smile."

Lee4Life Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Alcohol is just a dangerous drug some can't handle it.. its legal.. never heard of someone on marijuana going berserk and killing people. Crazy laws.. just because its easy to tax alcohol. People who can't handle their drink should not drink. Have you forgotten about Charles Manson and his cult? When they murdered Sharon Tate...they weren't smoking Marlboro! you take a serial killer as an example while on the other hand there are countless examples of people killing others when drunk. But none for marijuana. Bit bias don't you think. Alcohol is just a dangerous hard drug that is known for causing aggression. Far worse as many other drugs but legal. There's no coincidence that marijuana is linked to the peace and love movement of the sixties. The overwhelming majority of pot smokers become mellow and peaceful. Those who become aggressive would probably get angry by drinking water as well. If pot was allowed and alcohol prohibited world wide we would see a significant drop in violent crime and road deaths. I'm guessing you are choosing to ignore the significant rise in road deaths caused by drivers under the influence of pot that are being recorded by the States in the US that have legalized it.

jazzyfrosty Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) According to a witness the BBC and others need to get certain important facts right. This man was NEVER hit by an iron bar he was pissed and crashed into Mr Tinsley car and fled. When confronted he attacked Mr Tinsley and fell backwards in his drunken state and hit his head on the pavement. Stop telling lies no iron bar was ever used and Pickles was a violent drunkard.

Changoverandout Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 An appeal can go both ways. Hopefully if/when the attacker appeals the judge will reinstate the original attempted murder charge and double or treble the sentence. After all his victim, Mr Pickles, is serving a life sentence!

I think you might find that during the time Tinsley was running his shady visa shop and having from time to time use the under the table payment method to keep certain people sweet, he managed to perhaps gain some useful contacts. Anybody remember the dodgy visas that came from Birmingham that you need not leave the country for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
