Kratom grower, 74, jailed over death

Published: 26 Sep 2013 at 20.28Online news:

The Appeals Court on Thursday sentenced a 74-year-old woman to three years in prison without suspension after an electric fence she had erected around her “kratom” orchard killed a man, the decision reducing her jail term by four months.

The Criminal Court last year found Thongdee Jamsri guilty of causing the death of another person by erecting a fence that carried an electric current of 220 volts on her property in Bang Kapi district in early 2010.

She was also charged with growing 30 narcotic kratom trees on the land.

The elderly woman was arrested after the body of Maropee Langmae was found electrocuted near the fence which was erected to prevent thieves from entering her land.

In Thursday’s ruling, the court judge said although it agreed with the lower court’s decision that the defendant’s attempt to protect her property was conducted in an excessive manner, the deceased was guilty of having an intention to enter and commit theft on her land.

The judge dismissed the defendant’s request to suspend the jail sentence on the grounds that discharging electricity through a fence was a lethal action and she had been prosecuted on charges of possessing kratom before but continued to grow it. As a result she did not deserve a suspension of her jail term, the judge said. 

The court decided to reduce the three year and four month-jail term ordered against her by the lower court to three years without suspension.

Thongdee was taken to the Central Women's Correctional Institution after she told the court she would not appeal and was ready to serve her sentence.

Thongdee’s daughter, Juthamas Sukanthachalathorn, said her mother had emphysema and thyroid problems and she would try to visit her as oftern as possible.

She said her mother wanted the case to end and would submit a request for a royal pardon.

Thongdee is eligible to submit a parole request immediately after her case ends.

An electric fence is not a "boobytrap."  Electric fences are common, and legal here so far as I know.

I could be wrong, but based on what I read it seems like this story happened outside the US, likely in a southeast asian country where kratom is native. So this case does not really apply to US law

Um yeah, they are obviously in Thailand fellas.

So because the electric fence did its only job, she is going to prison, because a thief died attempting to rob her property? Thats fucked!

Electric fences here are to keep animals inside the fence. You can pee on one and not get too hurt. This shit was set to max man.
