Scope and content : May 22, 1969. According to Miphat, crimes that occurred in Thailand were more serious than those in the U.S, but they were less severe than those in Japan. Regarding the trial court, discretion was required, with careful consideration of whether the defendant was preparing to commit the crime. Yet, the law could not define the difference between those who intended to crime and those who prepared a crime. However, if the court proved that there was intention to commit a crime, the one who incited would receive the maximum penalty. Frequently, the defendant recanted testimony to the trial court, and this had the affect of making the defendant's testimony to the police investigation worthless.
