Thai Court Set to Rule If Thaksin Dodged Jail With Hospital Stay
A top Thai court is set to rule next month whether former premier Thaksin Shinawatra effectively served a one-year prison term that he spent in a hospital, with an unfavorable verdict potentially sending the ruling party's de facto leader back to jail.
The Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Persons Holding Political Positions will deliver its verdict at 10 a.m. on Sept. 9, following the conclusion of a weeks-long trial that ended on Wednesday, according to Thaksin's lawyer Winyat Chatmontree.
