Phuket masseuse says wrongly convicted of theft, seeks help from Court of Appeal

PHUKET: A 32-year-old Thai woman from Ratchaburi province who has received a 10-year sentence for theft from Trang Provincial Court is seeking assistance from the Region 8 Court of Appeal in Phuket as she says she has been wrongly convicted in the case.

 

At around midday yesterday (Feb 10), Ms Phawitra Konggompon, 32, who currently works at a spa in Karon, visited the Region 8 Court of Appeal to hand over documents which she says prove she has been wrongly convicted of theft in a case dating back to 2011.

 

A representative of the court, Mr Chayathip Chitluag, received the documents on the court’s behalf.

Sadly this about sums up the justice system in Thailand where the police either do nothing or do something if they are paid for it together with courts that ..... well we can't say anything about these provincial courts of course as the law certainly does a great job of preventing criticism. I hope the Appeal court in Phuket can provide justice for this woman but little cheer since I am very certain she is one of thousands of innocent victims of the justice system here.

Another case of police dodgy measures to secure a conviction even when they know people are innocent. When are they going to make harsher laws to police and prosecutors for framing innocent people? ??

She hasn't been proven innocent yet, has she?  The Appeal Court will decide that.

The Thais are just not clever enough to come up with a story like hers. As an innocent person myself that has been bullied through a thai court, with full experience of police adding false information, prosecutors helping to fake evidence and evidence of my innocence mysteriously disappearing , I am well aware of the tricks these characters come up with and have no understanding of why they do it. Just her sentence of 10 years for theft is a shocker, when a rapist gets 5 years. I understand the costs of lawyers and the court appointed lawyers just sit there and do nothing. Their goal is to finish the case as soon as possible so they can move on to the next check. She might not win the appeal, but I believe her 100 percent. Poor girl.

"...Thais are just not clever enough..."

What?  Why such a slur against Thai population?  

 

I was not suggesting that she isn't innocent but what you believe about her case means nothing as it is just your gut instinct with no foundation apart from what you have read here.

Well actually I was wondering if the prosecutor has proven her guilty beyond a reasonable doubt? You know the old saying, "innocent until proven guilty". Of course we all know that in this country, although the law does state one is "innocent until proven guilty," it doesn't matter at all whether guilt is proven, it's up to the Triumvirate, the three holding power, the cops, prosecutor and judges. They do what they want!

Well what is the use of the First Court then? Let me answer that for you. They are useless. They operate under the Junta, they have young inexperienced judges that can not make an intelligent decision. They don't listen to reason, don't listen to witnesses, only the police! Then they give ridiculous sentences to many innocent people. They ruin entire families because of these poor decisions.

Try going through that system sometime if you think different!

The judge( in my case )said in his ruling , and I quote: even though there is no evidence and no witness the court must believe the government official, because the government official is a trusted expert and has no reason to lie. 

That's right they ruin families and destroy lives.  

Guilty walk into court and walk out innocent.

Innocent walk into court and go to prison guilty.

The antics officials get up to, to win are unbelievable.

You don't need to answer that for me but ask yourself why every country in the world has Appeal Courts then ask yourself your own question again.

The prosecutor, the judge and the appeal judge all eat lunch together. 

As it happens I have been through the courts system here but that is as irrelevant as your unfounded assertion about certain parties eating arrangements.

My question was. .. have you been through the system as an innocent person convicted of a crime that you did not commit and been found guilty by some silly analogy? 

And how do you know my comment is unfounded. 

You don't know which court I was at. You don't know the things I have seen.

Your unfounded suggestion was, that because certain parties are familiar with one another they must all be corrupt and prone to, in the main, convicting innocent people.  You made a generalised comment, you didn't state that it was only applicable to your case and your generalised comment was unfounded.

Yes, you did suggest it.

 

"Stop trying to  bait me into breaking computer crime act."

I'm responding to what you posted, if you see it as "baiting you into breaking the Computer Crime Act" then you need to be able to read and comprehend what you and I wrote a lot better.

I suppose you thought that I should be concerned about your block but, strangely, I'm not.

So I am not the only one who thinks like this, hope your lawyer did not do what some do and that is take the cash and sell the defence docs to the otherside. They stretch the case out as long as they can so it costs you big money, They tell your lawyer to tell you to plead guilty as they have all the evidence, people phone in the middle of the night and say you may have an accident if you do not pay compensation. They falsify docs, but when caught out docs grow legs and walk. They use the CCL to shut you up, (No}

No, none of this happens here, just fairy stories only.

The police call my lawyer and have discussions about my case. 

My lawyer sees nothing wrong with that. 

And what about in the court, when the lawyer changes sides in front of the judge and you are left to defend yourself against the prosecutor, the lawyer and the judge. Quite frankly I would grateful to find a lawyer that does not change sides, but so far have not had success.
