Dmaxdan Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Do they actually carry out death sentences in Thailand if convicted? These two certainly deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't that is why its largely a paper tiger when people talk about the death penalty in Thailand. It just means longer jailtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty on death row but I believe none have been carried out for a number of years. Lethal injection is used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree to an extent, but they are being selective and keeping quiet in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHTel Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 The last executions were in 2009 (2). Prior to that was 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotheruser Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 It is a pretty run of the mill robbery/murder. The fact that it involves an iPhone must make the average Thai commuters blood chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, any random rich-er connection in disguise in their connection circle will do, too, or how would you relate their several past releases from prison?

Lethal injection is used. There were a couple given the death penalty in 2009 and I am fairly sure they were drug offences and their appeal to the King for clemency failed. it is true that the death penalties have slowed down a great deal but the death penalty is still on the statute books and death sentence prisoners convicted can be and are executed. Everything is grindingly slow in the Thai court system. The cases, the appeals, the sentences, further appeals etc Anybody thinking, that those on the ' death row ' have it easy are mistaken as restrictions are still upon then as prisoners awaiting death such as leg chains 24-7, segregation etc. Bang Kwang is tough and conditions are harsh but there again Klong Prem is no easy option either.

Only 2 in the last ten years... The likely hood that they would be executed is slim, my thoughts are that in such cases may be there should be a sentence that would not be subject to any blanket reduction in sentence and would be "life means life", no parole, no chance of ever getting out.

He should cease to have any, the scumbag. I doubt very much he will be out in a few years as that young victim was from a ' well to do ' family, and as you all know in Thailand that counts. The prosecutors are baying for blood, the file has already been sent to them. Many times the Police take the 84 days ( maximum detention allowed without charge) so that " arrangements and accommodations " can be facilitated. Not so in this case. This heinous crime has sparked outrage amongst the Bangkok hierarchy, the prosecutors are going to court post haste, so I think words have been whispered in many ears.

nottocus Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I understand. Just saying what some anti-death penalty person might say. To be honest, I'd prefer death by torture for these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish monger Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 So, I guess all the other murders of people here don't justify the death penalty.........Not that it would make any difference...Because it's pick and choose. That's how they roll here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
