Young Sam Machielsen sat in a Pattaya Provincial Court room for four hours taking notes for blogger Andrew Drummond of Bangkok. The testimony was in English and the official court translation had not been completed.
When witnesses in the court case asked Sam Machielsen in the court if he was taking notes for Andrew Drummond the budding secretary denied the possibility.
In a prior trial Drummond was ordered by the Pattaya Provincial Court judge not to take notes at trials because trials in process are not to be reported until a verdict is reached.
So Drummond hired the innocent lad Sam Machielsen to do the wrong deed by taking notes that would be used for public publication prior to the official translation and cross-examination of the testimony.
Witnesses watching Drummond smoking in front of the Pattaya Court House saw Sam Machielsen hand over his notebook containing confidential court testimony which had not yet been cross-examined, so was therefore bias and totally unsubstantiated.
Drummond immediately posted the dubious testimony provided by Sam Macieilsen, son of Andre Machielsen, onto his blog.
The judge in the case was informed of the dastardly duos plot to circumvent the court directive and policy.
Evidence is being gathered to file contempt charges if grounds are confirmed.
