I am speechless... 

 

Sentenced to death but not a flight risk?!?!? I don't see her going back to her "place of work" for the remaining days/weeks of her life. Who would? 

 

Am I on planet Mars or what? 

 

I really should drink more before reading the news.

Remaining weeks of her life?

This is the lower court, there is the Appeals court followed by the Supreme Court. You're talking at least 10 years before any final verdict. Plus no one has been executed for years. Dr Suwit, ( I think i remember his first name right) was a lecturer at Chulalongkorn Uni. His wife refused to divorce him when he wanted to marry a nurse so he cut her up and flushed her down the sewers. He was in the slammer around 10 years. He was released  over a year ago. A pretty doctor getting executed? No way I say.

I understand that there are loopholes in every system in every country and, with a good lawyer, you can wiggle your way around things but when I read about such blatant disregard for human life, then I'm absolutely outraged!

Well i read he was a violent abuser who frequently beat her up but I see someone contests that view. Hopefully the truth will out.

Utterly, utterly ridiculous. Bail isn't an option for drug dealers or mushroom pickers. But for a person convicted of murder and sentenced to death are allowed bail.

The justice system isn't even 3rd world. It is parallel universe stuff. Disgusting in every respect ?

All the stories at the time mentioned domestic violence.

 

Did he not serve some time [very short of course] for it?

She is so pretty.  Sad she felt the need to do what she did but I am not one  to judge her. 

She's on the bus now, BBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEE

The Thai legal system wants to be seen as having meted out justice by sentencing her to death for a murder that she clearly arranged.  At the same time, they don't really want to execute her, perhaps because they sympathize with her due to her having been abused by her husband, or perhaps because she is somewhat attractive.  So this is a Thai-style face-saving way of avoiding executing her - by basically inviting her to run away.  And it doesn't hurt that they will also get to pocket a million baht when she absconds.  Everyone wins - well, except for the guy who was murdered.

Beyond crazy that someone given the death sentence should be granted bail. This must be unprecedented in legal history.

What's one got to do to get some bail around here? Kill someone?  

Would she have got bail if she was Burmese???

On death row and out on bail.  You also have the 3 thai police officers who were given the death sentence in 2012 and then granted bail.  They are still happily going about thier lives on the outside.  It appears it has all been forgotten about.

I do not believe this lady will spend a single day in jail. I don't know exactly how this will happen, but it will.

Wise words indeed. 

 

Well wiser than some I've read today.

Yep. Noticed that, though regarding a post I read and replied to, quite appropriate. 

He threaten to kill his wife, all her family, and even his own children .

He was described as an hallucinating and paranoid man.
