Andrew Drummond convicted again!

I am just wondering when my old adversary Andrew Drummond will announce his recent conviction in the Supreme Court of Thailand in decision number 2137/2557 that was handed down on 27th October 2014.

The Supreme Court reversed the decision of the Region 2 Court of Appeal quashing Drummond's conviction and sentenced Drummond to two months jail (suspended for 2 years) and fined him THB 20,000 in a case brought by Jim Lumsden.

The Court of Appeal found that Drummond was a journalist working in the public interest, but the Supreme Court said that Drummond had defamed Lumsden and entered a conviction.

That means two convictions and two suspended sentences for Drummond this year, and he faces the Supreme Court again on December 16th.

Drummond also has to publish the decision in The Bangkok Post on three separate days before November 25th, so it wont be a secret for long!
