No case however was proceeded with.
Today Pattaya Court acquitted Tinsley, from Wolverhampton.
Further details later when the judgment is released.
However below is the immediate reaction from friends of the well loved Head of English at the International School of the Regents.
Quite some anger is expressed and I have ‘redacted’ a little. But I really feel for his family and friends. The news was broken by Adam’s father Andrew on this Facebook page.
Letter from British MP to Foreign Secretary
There is no justice for the victims or innocent in Thailand.
Right we all know it , so we ( who live and visit ) make the choice to be in these circumstances where if we are attacked, it is likely no justice will be served. What does that say about us?
Are Thai expats deficient ?
Definitely so in a Pattaya court it seems.
Why aren't you reporting Tinsley in custody after being jailed by Court of Appeal Andrew ?
No particular reason Bwian. Its been adequately covered though. And I am watching developments
But I see u have been hovering around the prison again looking for clients
