Interview with Thanin.

| February 5 and 7, 1969. Moerman interviewed Tanin on several topics such as 1) the jury system at the trial was not quite effective. This was due to the belief of Thai people that the power to judge stayed with the king of Thailand. Moreover, Thai society was full of corruption and reliant on a system of personal rapport. If the jury knew the accused, the lawsuit may have been settled lawsuit siding with the offender. 2) It might be necessary to conduct training for the judge’s assistant on how to gain the truth from a testimony. 3) The brief was cut off so that the police would more easily understand. | Punch card
