Hi-so dad sentenced to 5 years prison for using meth

Contradiction at its best !

No contradiction, I am not suggesting verdicts are sold, it was your suggestion. I am just extending your suggestion to point out its flawed logic.

I also note you edited out the bits you had no answer to.

Utter BS. You clearly suggested that the judges verdict could be bought, I am suggesting that it cannot.

I agree that before it gets that far, the system is very corrupt. However, if you think that the higher people in the judiciary system, are prepared to throw everything they have achieved in life, family included, for a bribe, then keep on thinking that way.

It is precisely that they do not wish to lose their privileges that they bow to pressure from the dark influences that control the country. It is not as crude as taking a brown envelope at that level, but it does work to their financial advantage to do what they are told, But if you think that the Koh Tao judges and the Na Ayuddayah judges were not influenced in any way by those above them in the power structure and delivered genuine verdicts without fear or favour, then keep on thinking that way.
