As another poster said. 

They must be the unluckiest 2 people in the world. 

Or guilty. Let's face it, you just don't see that many coincidences all at the same time.

The lawyers should be saying, we accept they are guilty, because of their age , please have mercy and review the death penalty. They will do 20 years, probably out in 10.

With all this codswallop, they'll be lucky to get out in 50 years. A real lawyer should go and advise them immediately.

My quote:  Whether or not the B2 are guilty or innocent, it is clearly not a just verdict, and would never be if dependent on the prosecution's evidence that was never verified, substantiated or validated  - merely RTP statements to that effect.

 

Of course it MATTERS, but we're not living in a biblical age - society has progressed  - some would say too far - nevertheless this case conviction is far from being one of incorrect legal technicalities, but ALL of it based on hearsay, and the interpretation of that.

 

This is what the appeal is all about. Had there been ANY forensic evidence produced in court by way of original samples, it could have been acceptable - but there wasn't any original samples. Repeat, there wasn't any original samples produced in court, most likely because they didn't exist. 

 

And as a matter of record, the appeal will be heard by the same district 8 legal team as the previous court. That is contrary to any measure of independence - in other words a damning indictment of the justice system.

 

 

Sorry, please allow an adjustment to the thread. I believe the deadline for the prosecution to provide / hand-in new evidence etc., in regard to the appeal is running out very soon, perhaps just 3 or 4 days. I googled but I can't find the exact deadline date. Can someone please share the deadline date. Thanks.

From the OP:

 

The prosecution has been given until November 10 to submit a reply to the defendants’ appeal to the court.

Apparently there was a misunderstanding in between the languages. According to a hall the prosecution submitted their reply to the defense many weeks ago. However, they have requested to submit an additional document to ask for the removal of the death penalty. Now I know people are clutching any straw they can find and might think this is a backpedal by the prosecution. 

Or could it be that with the death penalty off the table, the British authorities can release information that will unequivocally conclude the b2 guilt.


What it boils down to is that the article in the OP is not new information, it's new misinformation.

How longer is the farce going to be played?

The prosecution didn't answer to the defense appeal! Yay  now we'll see our Truth exposed!... and wouldn't you know it, it wasn't true.

How many times people's expectations have been played with by this noise machine?

How many times was it announced that a new development would prove those men to be innocent?
 

Of the top of my head of things that were announced to grand fanfare as things that would prove the B2 innocent and put egg on the face of Thailand:
 

-CSI LA and the Internet Sleuth brigade.
-UK investigators coming to check things.
-The Myanmar government getting involved.
-Human Rigths organizations jumping in.
-Intense coverage by international media
-Dr. Pornthip's involvement.
-Hacking of court systems by Anonymous.
-The Defense announcing they had located two witnesses to the crime.
-Dubious "Gait analysis"
-International DNA experts
-Defense given permission to retest DNA evidence
-Autopsy report from the UK
-Review of the findings by UK investigators by UK judge
-A mystery masked man popping up at a raly in Myanmar claiming he too was a witness.
-Retesting of the murder weapon
-Claims of torture
-Noise about lab accreditation
-International legal "experts" chiming in
-Last but not least the daily reassurances of the defense during the trial that the case against the B2 was a complete shambles.

Every time one of those things came up there was a chorus of "Now our Truth will come out!" only to end up in disappointment when the hype met reality and nothing of substance came out of it.

And now, again, "hopes are up because the prosecution hasn't replied to the defense appeal!.... oh, what's that, they did,? so again we got our hopes up for something that turned out to be false, irrelevant or misrepresented?"
Well, knock me over with a feather. :saai:

It's like people enjoy having their chains yanked.
