But sorry for you I'm not given into corruption like red lovers. Quote The Criminal Court said M.R. Krairirk was a well-respected law lecturer and had engaged no dispute with the bribe giver before. The court said what M.R. Krairirk had testified in the court about the attempted bribery was factual evidence while the attempts of the police officer was considered an act of selfishness, and affected the image of the court which is the last institution where the people can depend on.

Did you ever consider that thee 'accuser' was not expecting the conversation to happen and there was no facility available to quickly record? Do keep up. The accusers claims that there were two encounters. The first at his place of work where the alleged bribe was 15 million. The second at the accusers house where the alleged bribe was upped to 30 million. The accuser, having been offered a bribe at his place of work then hosts the alleged briber at a future date at his own house - there is ample opportunity to record the conversation. I would go as far to say that if the accuser were truly interested in justice and the events really did occur as he says they did - then surely he is obligated to record the conversation that he knows is coming. I would also question how it is the the judges adjudicating on this case didn't raise the same doubts ... why is there no recording? why is there no other evidence at all besides the accusers own unverified claims? How could one be convicted on so flimsy a case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't look at occupation when deciding credibility. The Thai courts did and Than did. I completely disagree with the use of occupation as a measure of credibility, if you read what I have written my position abundantly clear. He was a former class mate of the judge who was visiting to pass on an invitation to a class reunion - probably explains why the judge agreed to see him. Given the political situation at the time of the meeting - the joke seems entirely reasonable. Would you be happy to be convicted solely on other man's word without a shred of supporting evidence?

All I am saying is that these actions do not have boundaries. A lot heating their heads on this post, but brown paper bags have been around for many years; whilst the powers that be, whoever is in power adopts a similar approach. Rob I said before I am orange, neutral. Com'on Rob Mr T's sisters are better lookin than the Generals wife? The Generals wife reminds me of Margaret Whitlam, The wife of Gough Whitlam a previous Prime Minister of Australia. Her notoriety or claim was she could kick start a Jumbo Jet. The one thing we shouldn't do here is label, your this or your that. We get to sit on the sideline and commentate. We really don't have a say in the laws or who is or isn't fit to govern. Its a bit like our State of Origin football matches. I am a NSW supporter and out of the last 12 years NSW has only beaten Queensland once. Great team this year, won the first of three games, then lost the intensity. So we lost the next two games and the series. If you have never watched a game of Rugby League, these three games in the middle of each year is what I would suggest to cut your teeth on. How is this different to politics. Well I am waiting for the right people and structure to get in bond the team and play for the pride of NSW. Unfortunately politics can be a bit like a team support. Waiting for the right person to fill the right shoes at the right time. Thailand I think is working its way to this. I was offered my first paper bag about 1983. I was the project manager. It wasn't an insult but I would not ruin my reputation for that bag. The company didn't get the job. The guy I picked was a consulting Architect having done major refurbishment work on Kerry Packers building'. He did a good job. I increased rental return by abt 400%. A lot is said but not a lot is said with the meat in the sandwich. Rob, don't give me the yellow or red jersey. I have the 2013 Grand Finalists jersey, Sydney Roosters being an Australian professional rugby league football club based in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney hanging on my wall. That's enough. The past has become tiresome. Only because it is seen in such a short perspective here on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
